G/B F      G              C
Cool  river, wash my tears away
F   C    D               G  E7       A7
Let your blue waves hide me from the day
D7       G    C
It's the only way
     G            C
Cool river hear my plea
     G  Am   F
Take me with you
C  F   G
To the sea
Gaug   C
To the sea


[Verse 1]
F    C     A7
I’ve waded knee-high
   D   C    F   E  Am
In troubles not my own
         Ab     C
Now that I have got mine
    G       G7   G
I’m sinking all alone



[Chorus]
C G/B F      G              C
Cool  river, wash my tears away
F   C    D               G  E7       A7
Let your blue waves hide me from the day
D7       G    C
It's the only way
     G            C
Cool river hear my plea
     G  Am   F
Take me with you
C  F   G
To the sea
Gaug   C
To the sea



[Verse 2]
F C          A7
I have tried praying
   D   C       F      E  Am
To god and his saints on high
    Ab         C
But they don’t hear me
    G               G7        G
I’m gonna kiss this world goodbye



[Chorus]
  G/B F      G              C
Cool  river, wash my tears away
   F   G
To the sea
Gaug   C
To the sea
   F   G
To the sea
Gaug   C      F G
To the sea
Gaug   C
To the sea
