Am           C                   G                     Am 
Take me to a rivertown where you can't tell night from day 
Am          C             G             Am 
Everythings forgiven that did not wash away 
Am                       C     G                Am 
Where dreaming comes too easy, livings twice as hard 
Am                C                    G             Am 
And everything is burried, beneath the water and the stars 
Am           C                   G                     Am 
Yeah I am from Corsican', wayward on the storm 
Am           C                   G                     Am 
I've been rolling empty sevens since the day that I was born 
Am           C                   G                     Am 
I've got no rings upon my fingers, no ink beneath my skin 
Am           C                   G                     Am 
I'll be as clean going out as I was coming in 

 
          F       C           G        Am 
I'm gonna wash my sins in the Angilina river 
     F                C             Em                 
When all that she can take from me, is all that I can give her 
    F                   C         G                  Am 
And time will bring you down, and time will make you cold 
     Am                  C             G             Am 
I've turned my back some time ago, and now I'm going home 

Am           C                   G                     Am 
Well I wondered through the pine trees like an outlaw in the rain 
Am           C                   G                     Am 
I rambled through big thicket with a pistol and my name 
Am           C                   G                     Am 
Run away restless angels, don't waste your love on me 
Am           C                   G                     Am 
Just lay me down in a river town, and home is where I'll be
