[Intro]

| C | C | C | C |
[Verse 1]
C F C
I wandered all the way to Crooked River
C G
With you burning a hole in my mind
C F C
Well I came down here to try to get better
C G C
But it just keeps getting harder all the time
[Verse 2]
C F C
And when I finally get myself together
C G
I know, yes I know it'll be sublime
C F C
But until then I'll make my home down by Crooked River
C G C C4 C
And I'll sleep beneath the shade of the pines
[Chorus]
C C/B Am C
Wash my hands, wash my sins
Am C
Let me shiver in your ruthless wind
C C/B Am C
Take me down, take me in
G C F C
Oh, you Crooked River

[Verse 3]
C F C
Well ol' loneliness she's haunted me forever
C G
But I've learned to look her straight in the eye
C F C
And when she sneaks up on me down by Crooked River
C G C
Well she hardly ever even makes me cry
[Chorus]
C C/B Am C
Wash my hands, wash my sins
Am C
Let me shiver in your ruthless wind
C C/B Am C
Take me down, take me in
G C F C
Oh, you Crooked River
