[Intro]
Em Em

[Verse 1]
Em
I feel the irons on my wrist
Em
And lament, it's come to this
Am
When they hang me from the gallows tree
Em
"Such as life," you'll hear me hiss
Em
I'm not the reddest handed bandit here
Em
But I'm the one who'll take the fall
Am
This smoking gun's been smothered
B7 Em
By the long arm of the law
Em
The Chaplin says, "The end is started
Em
And your judgment has begun
Am
Prayers can lead to God's forgiveness
Em
For all the foolish things you've done"
Em
"You've got tonight to find
Em
Some peace of mind before you leave this world"
F#7
And I hope and pray
B7
That I may never get what I deserve

[Chorus]
Em
Take me down to the river
Em
Preacher, take me by the hand
Em
Take me down to the river
Em
Mend the soul of a broken man
Am
Drown me in forgiveness
Am
Wash these bloody hands of mine
Em C#m
Take me down to one last river
B7 Em
Lord, let me testify

[Verse 2]
Em
I believe in God's benevolence
Em
And I have seen with my own eyes
Am
In the river just outside the gate
Em
Sunday sinners get baptized
