Version 1 
            [Verse 1]
     G           G/B
The river is my savior
           C             G
Cause she used to be a cloud
       G                 G/B
She's happy just to lay there
         Dsus4           D
When she used to be so proud
     G             G/B          C                 G
And even when she dries up a thousand years from now
      G           Em            D                  G
I'll lay myself beside her and call her name out loud

[Verse 2]
     G           G/B
The river is my savior
          C             G
The only one I'll ever need
         G                    G/B
Wash my head when I've been sinning
         Dsus4               D
Wash my knuckles when they bleed
    G                G/B
Protect me from my neighbor
           C            G
All this jealousy and greed
           G          Em
Take the body to the delta
          D              G
Hide the weapon in the weeds

[Chorus]
             Am7          C
But now I'm tired and a little bit confused
                  G                      D
Regarding what I meant to do and what I did
              Am7            C
The men I've hired they all seem to be afraid of me
      G                                 D
They turn their eyes away from me like kids

[Verse 3]
      G              G/B
The river hears my secrets
            C           G
Things I cannot tell a soul
           G                  G/B
Like the children that I've orphaned
         Dsus4          D
And the fortune that I stole
      G                   G/B
The neighbor who asked questions
          C                G
Until he washed up on the shore
          G                  Em
But I've done the law some favors
    D             G
So nobody has to know

[Chorus]
             Am7          C
Now I'm tired and I just can't get to sleep
             G                                 D
I've been a wolf among these sheep for all my life
            Am7       C
The lake of fire it consumes me in my dreams
           G                              D
And last night I woke up screaming at my wife

[Verse 4]
     G           G/B
The river is my savior
        C             G
She's running to the sea
         G          G/B
And to reach her destination
       Dsus4          D
Is to simply cease to be
       G                  G/B
And running until you're nothing
          C              G
Sounds a lot like being free
          G                Em
So I'll lay myself inside her
          D            G
And I'll let her carry me
