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
 
[Refrão]
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
