Harlem River Blues Justin Townes Earle
INTRO: G C G D G
CHORUS:
[G]Lord I'm goin' uptown
To the Harlem River to [C]drown
Dirty water gonna [G]cover me over
And [D]I'm not gonna make a [G]sound
[G]I'm on a roll, Mama, I gotta go
Gotta get there while I still [C]can
Troubled days are be[G]hind me now
And I know they're gonna let me [D]in
When you [G]see me walkin up the FDR
Just a-singin' and clappin my [C]hands
Tell my mama I loved her, tell my [G]father I tried
To give my [D]money to my baby to [G]spend
CHORUS
INTRO
Good times come and they go
Even a good man'll break
He'll let his troubles bury him whole
Even though he knows what's at stake
So I'm taking no chances, I'm carryin' over
While I'm still good in His grace
And I'm no fool Mama I know the difference
Between tempting and choosing my fate
CHORUS
INTRO (2x)
