[Verse]
F#m E A
I walked into the bedroom
F#m E A
on a rainy afternoon
Bm A D
and I heard her say to me
F#m E A
not a moment too soon
F#m E A
She said child don't you worry
F#m E A
I will always be with you
Bm A D
From the way she'd looked at me
F#m E A
I believed it to be true
G D
When she said, when she said
[Chorus]
Bm
I'm ready to close my eyes
D
steady and hold tight
F#m
I'm gonna be crossing over
E
to heaven and the great divide and I
Bm D
I'm ready to close my eyes, they're heavy and so wide
F#m E
I can feel it put me under, steady as the rising tide
Bm
Take me to the water
D
by the road that leads you down
E F#m E A
And lay me down
[Interlude]
F#m E A D
[Verse]
F#m E A
It was early in the evening
F#m E A
She gave all that she could give
Bm A D
And I felt her leaving me
F#m E A
But I learned how to live
G D
When she said, when she said
[Chorus]
Bm
I'm ready to close my eyes
D
steady and hold tight
F#m
I'm gonna be crossing over
E
to heaven and the great divide and I
Bm D
I'm ready to close my eyes, they're heavy and so wide
F#m E
I can feel it put me under, steady as the rising tide
Bm
Take me to the water
D
by the road that leads you down
E F#m E A
And lay me down
F#m E A C#m D
Lay me down
[Chorus]
Bm
I'm ready to close my eyes
D
steady and hold tight
F#m
I'm gonna be crossing over
E
to heaven and the great divide and I
Bm D
I'm ready to close my eyes, they're heavy and so wide
F#m E
I can feel it put me under, steady as the rising tide
Bm
Take me to the water
D
by the road that leads you down
F#m
Take me to the water
E
Scatter me around
Bm
Take me to the water
D
by the road that leads you down
F#m
Take me to the water
E
Scatter me around
Bm
Take me to the water
D
by the road that leads you down
E F#m E A
And lay me down
F#m E A D
Lay me down
