Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I've done a bad thing it's okay

I'm going down to the river today

 And the river's gonna wash my sins away

 Til I'm born again tomorrow

Oh to get over my head

Make me forget my sorrow

I'm going down to the river alone

Don't tell mama and daddy I'm gone

And if they cry when I don't come home

 Just lie and tell them I'm funnin'

Whoa to get out of my eyes

Into the river wide I'm runnin'

 And I can't swim

 But it's alright

 'Cause all my sin will drag me down even if I could

 And if it weren't for him and the love that night

 I'd be living for the light like a good girl should

 'Cause a good girl should
