Em D C Am


[Verse]
Em                     D
Oh child when you are weary
C                       Am
Weary deep down in your soul
Em              D
Hear my voice rolling like a river
C                       Am
I won't ever leave you alone

No no no


[Chorus]
Em
Ain't no chain gonna hold you down
D
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
C
Yesterday done came and gone
Am
Ain't it time to bury them bones

Em
Ain't no chain gonna hold you down
D
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
C
Yesterday done came and gone
Am                            Em
Ain't it time to bury them bones


[Verse]
Em                       D
Oh child when you're in darkness
C                      Am
Them devils circling around
Em                          D
Don't you go thinking it's hopeless
C                              Am
Takes some getting lost to be found

oh oh oh oh ohhh


[Chorus]
Em
Ain't no chain gonna hold you down
D
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
C
Yesterday done came and gone
Am
Ain't it time to bury them bones

Em
Ain't no chain gonna hold you down
D
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
C
Yesterday done came and gone
Am                            Em
Ain't it time to bury them bones


[Bridge]
Em
Take me down to the river
D
Wash me clean in the water
C
Take me down to the river
Am
Wash me clean in the water
Em
Take me down to the river
D
Wash me clean in the water
C
Take me down to the river
Am
Wash me clean in the water
Em
Take me down to the river
D
Wash me clean in the water
C
Take me down to the river
Am
Wash me clean in the water


[Chorus]
Em
Ain't no chain gonna hold you down
D
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
C
Yesterday done came and gone
Am
Ain't it time to bury them bones

Em
Ain't no chain gonna hold you down
Take me down to the river
D
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
Wash me clean in the water
C
Yesterday done came and gone
ohhhh ohhh
Am
Ain't it time to bury them bones

Em
Ain't no chain gonna hold you down
D
Ain't no grave gonna hold you now
Take me down, take me down
C
Yesterday done came and gone
Take me down to the river
Am
Ain't it time to bury them bones


[Outro]

Wash me clean in the water
C
Take me down to the river
Am                       Em
Wash me clean in the water
