Capo 3
AmTake me to a Crivertown where you Gcan't tell night from Amday
AmEverythings Cforgiven that Gdid not wash aAmway
AmWhere dreaming comes too Ceasy, Glivings twice as Amhard
AmAnd everything is Cburried, beneath the Gwater and the Amstars
AmYeah I am froCm Corsican', wayward Gon the stormAm  
AmI've been rolCling empty sevens siGnce the day that I was Amborn
AmI've got no rCings upon my fingersG, no ink beneath my skAmin
AmI'll be as clCean going out as I wGas coming inAm  
CHORUS
I'm gonna Fwash my Csins in the GAngilina Amriver
When Fall that she can Ctake from me, Emis all that I can give her
And Ftime will bring you Cdown, and Gtime will make you Amcold
I've Amturned my back some Ctime ago, and Gnow I'm going Amhome
AmWell I wonderCed through the pine Gtrees like an outlaw iAmn the rain
AmI rambled thrCough big thicket witGh a pistol and my nameAm  
AmRun away restCless angels, don't wGaste your love on meAm  
AmJust lay me dCown in a river town, Gand home is where I'lAml be
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
Well take me to the rivertown where you can't tell night from day
Everythings forgiven that did not wash away

Capo 3

Am C G Am

Take me to a rivertown where you can't tell night from day

Am C G Am

Everythings forgiven that did not wash away

Am C G Am

Where dreaming comes too easy, livings twice as hard

Am C G Am

And everything is burried, beneath the water and the stars

Am C G Am

Yeah I am from Corsican', wayward on the storm

Am C G Am

I've been rolling empty sevens since the day that I was born

Am C G Am

I've got no rings upon my fingers, no ink beneath my skin

Am C G Am

I'll be as clean going out as I was coming in

CHORUS

F C G Am

I'm gonna wash my sins in the Angilina river

F C Em

When all that she can take from me, is all that I can give her

F C G Am

And time will bring you down, and time will make you cold

Am C G Am

I've turned my back some time ago, and now I'm going home

Am C G Am

Well I wondered through the pine trees like an outlaw in the rain

Am C G Am

I rambled through big thicket with a pistol and my name

Am C G Am

Run away restless angels, don't waste your love on me

Am C G Am

Just lay me down in a river town, and home is where I'll be

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Well take me to the rivertown where you can't tell night from day

Everythings forgiven that did not wash away
