Harlem River Blues

INTRO: G   G/C   G   G/C   G   G/C   G 

 
G                             C 
Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown  
G                                   D                    G 
Dirty water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound  

VERSE 1 
G                                        C 
I'm on a roll, mama, I gotta go, I gotta get there while I still can  
G                                   D 
Troubled days are behind me now and I know they're gonna let me in melody rises 

G                                             C 
So when you see me walkin' up the empty yard, just a-singin' and a-clappin' my hands  
G                                                D                           G   G/C   G   G/C   G 
Tell my mama I love her, tell my father I tried, give my money to my baby to spend  

CHORUS 
'cause Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown  
Dirty water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound  

VERSE 2 
G                            C 
Good times come and they go, even a good man'll break  
G                                     D 
He'll let his troubles bury him whole even though he knows what's at stake melody rises 
G                                       C 
So I'm taking no chances, carrying over while I'm still good in His grace  
G                                                D                        G   G/C   G   G/C   G 
I'm no fool, mama, I know the difference between tempting and choosing my fate  

CHORUS 
'cause Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown  
Dirty water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound  

Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown  
Dirty water gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound 

No chords, or just lightly only strummed on last chorus 
Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown  
Dirty water gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound
