Eric Clapton - River of Tears: chords

C                            F
It's three miles to the river
that would carry me away,
Dm7
And two miles to the dusty street
Gsus4   G
that I saw you on today,
C                                       F
It's four miles to my lonely room where
I'm gonna hide my face,
Dm7
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
Gsus4   G
that I ran from in disgrace

Chorus:
Am
Lord how long have I got to keep on running?
D9
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
G
All I know is since you've been gone,
F
Feel like I'm drowning in a river
                        C
Drowning in a river of tears
F
Drowning in a river
Dm7                            Gsus4   G
Feel like I'm drowning, drowning in a river

In three more days, I'll leave this town
And disappear without a trace
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face
I wish that I could hold you
One more time to ease the pain
But my time's run out and I got to go
Got to run away again

Chorus:
Still I catch myself thinking
One day I'll find my way back here
You'll save me from drowning
Drowning in a river
Drowning in a river of tears
Drowning in a river
Feel like I'm drowning
Drowning in a river
Lord, how long must it go on?

Drowning
Drowning
Drowning in a river of tears
