Back To The River Chords

(ver. 1)
The Pretty Reckless
E ~~


[VERSE I]
        E               D
There's blue skies all around me
        A                    E
And the world looks just the same
E                D
 It's hard to be criminal
     A               E
when you all know my name
E            D
 Sometimes I wonder
    A                E
Sometimes I wanna be free
E                 D
 Well, you can be king of me
    A ~~
And I'll be...
           E
the queen


[INTERLUDE I]
(E)    E7 E    E7 E    E7 E 
(E)    E7 E    E7 E    E 
(Listen to the song to hear the strumming of this part)


[VERSE II]
E             E7  E
Noone listens to me
    E7      E       E7    E
The words I have to say
      E7       E      E7   
There ain't no doubt about it
E        E7        E    E          
I'm just trying to get away
          D           D     A
I'm going back to the river
      A          A    E    E7 E    E7 E    E7 E
Where noone will find me
            D                A      
We're going back to the river
A           E
Back to the sea


(E)    E7 E    E7 E    E 


[VERSE III]
     E            E7 E
When I was just a baby
   E7   E          E7 E   
My mama taught me "Girl, 
    E7     E        E7    E
you best believe in Jesus if
       E7      E      E
you'll make it in the world"
          D           D    A      
I'm going back to the river
      A              E    E7 E    E7 E    E7 E
Where noone knows my name
          D                    A    
I'm going back to the river..  oh
A           E    E7 E        E7 E    E
Back to the Seine   (Here we go)

[VERSE IV]
E             E7  E
Noone listens to me
    E7      E       E7    E
The words I have to say
      E7       E      E7   
There ain't no doubt about it
E        E7     E    E      
I'm just fading into gray
   D           D     A
I'm going back to the river
          A           A    E    E7 E    E7 E    E7 E
Where the devil can't find me

I'm going back to the river
          
Back to the sea
