G    F      C
I am just a child in the sun
G    F       C
Just another soul on the run
G        F      C
One more of your unwanted sons
       D
Tell me where can I go

G F C C   x2

[Verse 2]

 G      F     C
I had a line I tried for a while
G      F      C
Now I'm walkin mile after mile
G    F       C
On my face no trace of a smile
        D
Why does time pass so slow

G F C C   x2

[Verse 3]

 G       F       C
I have no ties my hands are unbound
     G     F         C
There is no friend no love I have found
  G       F      C
I have no ups I'm fixed to the ground
       D
Tell me river where you flow.

[Chorus]

G      F           C
Take me down to the river
G      F           C
Take me down to the sea
     G     F            C
Where I can drown all my sorrows
G          D        Em    C
Wash all my trouble away
G           D           G
Watch all my cares sail away

[Instrumental]

C G F F   x6
G F C C   x2

[Verse 4]

G    F      C
I am just a child in the sun
G    F       C
Just another soul on the run
G        F      C
One more of your unwanted sons
       D
Tell me where can I go

[Chorus]

G      F           C
Take me down to the river
G      F           C
Take me down to the sea
     G     F            C
Where I can drown all my sorrows
G          D        Em    C
Wash all my trouble away
G           D           G
Watch all my cares sail away
