(verse 1)
D G A
I never had no regrets, boys;
D
Not for nothing I've done.
G A
I owed the devil some debts, boys,
D
Paid them all up but one.
G D
And I don't even regret the living
A D
That I'll be leaving behind.
G - A
I've gotten weary of searching
D
For something I couldn't find.
(chorus)
A
I'm going down to the shade
D
By the river one more time,
A D
And feel the breeze on my face before I die.
G D
I'm gonna leave whatever's left of my luck to the losers,
A - A7
Then bend me down
D
and kiss the world goodbye.
(verse 2)
Come to lucky-in-lovin'
I never had no complaints.
They never said I was evil,
But then, I wasn't no saint.
I'm just a river that rolled forever
And never got to the sea.
I ain't blaming nobody;
I had it coming to me.
(chorus)
A
I'm going down to the shade
D
By the river one more time,
A D
And feel the breeze on my face before I die.
G D
I'm gonna leave whatever's left of my luck to the losers,
A - A7
Then bend me down
D
and kiss the world goodbye.
