Harlem River Blues (Capo 3)
(YouTube the acoustic version of JTE playing this to get the feel)
INTRO: E-A7-E-B7-E
CHORUS
E A7
Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown
E B7 E
Dirty water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound
VERSE 1
E A7
I'm on a roll, mama, I gotta go, I gotta get there while I still can
E B7
Troubled days are behind me now and I know they're gonna let me in
E A7
So when you see me walkin' up the empty yard, just a-singin' and a-clappin' my hands
E B7 E
Tell my mama I love her, tell my father I tried, give my money to my baby to spend
CHORUS
E A7
Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown
E B7 E
Dirty water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound
Solo
VERSE 2
E A7
Good times come and they go, even a good man'll break
E B7
He'll let his troubles bury him whole even though he knows what's at stake
E A7
So I'm taking no chances, carrying over while I'm still good in His grace
E B7 E
I'm no fool, mama, I know the difference between tempting and choosing my fate
CHORUS 2x
E A7
Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown
E B7 E
Dirty water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound
