Bottom of the River Delta Rae
Capo 2
The song is sung a cappella, so I did my best.
(First tab, hope you like it!)
CHORUS:
H[E]old my hand[D]
Ooh, baby, it's a lo[E]ng way d[D]own to the b[A]ottom of the r[C]iver
H[E]old my hand[D]
Ooh, baby, it's a lo[E]ng way d[D]own, a lo[C]ng way d[A]own
VERSE 1:
[A]If you get s[C]leep or [E]if you get n[A]one
The [E]cock's gonna [D]call in the [C]morning, [A]baby
[A]Check the c[C]upboard for your d[E]addy's g[A]un
[E]Red sun r[D]ises like an e[C]arly wa[A]rning
The L[D]ord's gonna c[F]ome for your f[A]irst born s[D]on
His [A]hair's on f[G]ire and his h[F]eart is bu[D]rning
So [A]go to the r[C]iver where the w[E]ater r[A]uns
[E]Wash him d[D]eep where the t[C]ides are t[A]urning
BRIDGE:
And [E]if you f[D]all
I[F]f you f[E]all
CHORUS
H[E]old my hand[D]
Ooh, baby, it's a lo[E]ng way d[D]own to the b[A]ottom of the r[C]iver
H[E]old my hand[D]
Ooh, baby, it's a lo[E]ng way d[D]own, a lo[C]ng way d[A]own
VERSE 2:
The wo[A]lves will c[C]hase you by the p[E]ale moonl[A]ight
D[E]runk and d[D]riven by a d[C]evil's h[A]unger
D[A]rive your s[C]on like a r[E]ailroad s[A]pike
I[E]nto the w[D]ater, let it p[C]ull him u[A]nder
D[D]on't you l[F]ift him, let him d[A]rown a[D]live
The g[A]ood Lord s[G]peaks like a [F]rolling [D]thunder
L[A]et that f[C]ever make the w[E]ater r[A]ise
And l[E]et the river run dry
And I said
CHORUS x 2
H[E]old my hand[D]
Ooh, baby, it's a lo[E]ng way d[D]own to the b[A]ottom of the r[C]iver
H[E]old my hand[D]
Ooh, baby, it's a lo[E]ng way d[D]own, a lo[C]ng way d[A]own
