E D
There's blue skies all around me
Cadd9 E
And the world looks just the same
E D
It's hard to be criminal
Cadd9 E
when you all know my name
E D
Sometimes I wonder
Cadd9 E
Sometimes I wanna be free
E D
Well, you can be king of me
Cadd9 G
And I'll be the queen
E D
No one listens to me
Cadd9 E
The words I have to say
E D
There ain't no doubt about it
Cadd9 E
I'm just trying to get away
D/F C
I'm going back to the river
E
Where no one will find me
D/F C
We're going back to the river
E
Back to the sea
E D
When I was just a baby
Cadd9 E
My mama taught me
E D
"Girl, you best believe in Jesus
Cadd9 E
If you'll make it in the world"
D/F C
I'm going back to the river
E
Where no one knows my name
D/F C
I'm going back to the river
E
Back to the Seine
Here we go
E D
There's blue skies all around me
Cadd9 E
And the world looks just the same
E D
It's hard to be criminal
Cadd9 E
When they all know your name
E D
Sometimes I wonder
Cadd9 E
Sometimes I wanna be free
E D
Well, you can be king of me
Cadd9 G
And I'll be the queen
E D
No one listens to me
Cadd9 E
The words I have to say
E D
There ain't no doubt about it
Cadd9 E
I'm just fading into gray
E D
I'm going back to the river
Cadd9 E
Where the devil can't find me
E D
I'm going back to the river
Cadd9 E
Back to the sea
