Harlem River Blues  Justin Townes Earle

Harlem River Blues (Capo 3)
(YouTube the acoustic version of JTE playing this to get the feel)
INTRO: E-A7-E-B7-E
CHORUS
[E]Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to d[A7]rown
Dirty water's gonna c[E]over me over and [B7]I'm not gonna make a [E]sound
VERSE 1
[E]I'm on a roll, mama, I gotta go, I gotta get there while I still [A7]can
Troubled days are b[E]ehind me now and I know they're gonna let me [B7]in
So when you [E]see me walkin' up the empty yard, just a-singin' and a-clappin' my [A7]hands
Tell my mama I love her, tell my f[E]ather I tried, give my [B7]money to my baby to s[E]pend
CHORUS
[E]Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to d[A7]rown
Dirty water's gonna c[E]over me over and [B7]I'm not gonna make a [E]sound
Solo
VERSE 2
[E]Good times come and they go, even a good man'll b[A7]reak
He'll let his troubles [E]bury him whole even though he knows what's at [B7]stake
So I'm [E]taking no chances, carrying over while I'm still good in His [A7]grace
I'm no fool, mama, I [E]know the difference between [B7]tempting and choosing my [E]fate
CHORUS 2x
[E]Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to d[A7]rown
Dirty water's gonna c[E]over me over and [B7]I'm not gonna make a [E]sound
