[Verse]
Am                      G
Homebound Henry's got a tumor in his head
   C                            D
He wakes up every morning after dreaming he was dead
           Am                              G
He used to think that life was boring, but now that's not the case
   C                                          D
He turns to his wife in the evening, he says "Honey I'm afraid I'm gonna lose this race."

[Chorus]
             G  C D
Sweet River, roll
C        G C D
all over me
C            G C D
Sweet River, roll
C        G C D
all over me

Am                                      G
Soaking wet Juliet- she lives in a well full of tears
    C                                     D
Her husband left her for some bimbo after twenty-two years
          Am                               G
Now she's got to start all over, but she's just so terrified
    C                                          D
She thinks it woulda been so much easier if he woulda just died

[Chorus]
             G  C D
Sweet River, roll
C        G C D
all over me
C            G C D
Sweet River, roll
C        G C D
all over me

[Verse]
Am                                              G
And I'm lookin out my car window sittin' in the pouring rain
              C                                  D
Although your house is fifteen miles away, I can still feel your pain
Am                                                    G
I've thought and prayed and worked it through about a hundred times or more
         C                                       D
How your soul just cries to everyone to help you get up off the floor
               Am                               G
Right now it's morning, you're probably totally unaware
       C                                    D
Of the flood of kisses you hold back by the way that you despair
        Am                             G
It ain't me I'm talking about here, or anybody else you can touch
       C                                            D
That's all I want to say right now, I don't want to say too much

                    G  C D   C        G C D
Except Sweet Jesus, roll     all over me
C            G C D  C        G C D
Sweet Jesus, roll   all over me...
