Steamboat Chords

(ver. 1)
Look Homeward
Verse 1

Am            G            C
I woke up on a steamboat, 
Am           G            C
with power in my hands
Am           G            C
I looked out the captains quarters 
Am           G            C
To see a southern land
Am           G            C
Old man river is runnin 
Am           G            C
To meet his wife the sea
Am           G            C
And there ain't nobody stealing 
Am           G            C
For the currents course is free
Am           G            C
Yeah the currents course is free
 
Chorus

Am    G     F      C
Steamboat carry me
C.        G        C
To my delta home
Am    G     F      C 
Steamboat carry me
C         G       C
I've got rivers in my soul

Verse 2

Am              G            C
When we finally reach New Orleans
Am           G            C
I'm gonna dance with all the ghosts
Am.           G            C
I'm gonna swim in eerie waters
Am           G            C
And drink to every toast
Am           G            C
On the bank of the Mississippi
Am           G            C
There's a pantsuit preacher man
Am           G            C
Sayin come into the water
Am.           G            C
For the kingdom is at hand
Am           G            C
Yeah the kingdom is at hand

Chorus

Am    G    F      C
Steamboat carry me
C        G        C
To my delta home
Am   G     F      C 
Steamboat carry me
C         G       C
I've got rivers in my soul

Verse 3

Am             G         C 
In the finely layered darkness
Am.            G            C
In the warmest August night
Am           G            C
I skipped along the cobblestone 
Am           G            C
And danced in all your light
Am           G            C
When I came upon a mansion
Am           G            C
I climbed up all its stairs
Am           G            C
But every mirror that I looked in
Am           G            C
I saw God standin there
Am           G            C
Yeah I saw God standin there

Chorus

 Am     G      F      C 
Steamboat carry me
C         G        C
To my delta home
Am    G     F      C 
Steamboat carry me
C         G       C
I've got rivers in my soul
 Am    G    F    C 
Steamboat carry me
C         G        C
To my delta home
Am    G     F      C 
Steamboat carry me
C          G       C
I've got rivers in my soul
C          G       C
I've got rivers in my soul
