I went down to the river
 flowing out unto the sea
 on my way to the ocean
 let the spirit swallow me.
 
Cm                     A#
I got low down in the water
          D#                    F
 I let the current guide my bones
Cm                        A#
 I�ve got nine kinds of trouble
          F
 I�m just trying to find my way home.

--Riff--

Cm                          A# 
Over twenty-some years of living
        D#                 F
 and a thousand wasted days
Cm                       A#
 I have loved a lot of women
      F
 Many times I�ve gone wrong ways
 

And I came down to the water
 For a dip. To cleanse my soul.
 They keep telling me that I�m just a babe
 But baby, why do I feel so old?
 
Cm                      F
This is the verge of a breakthrough
         D#                      G
 it�s a fine line that cannot be bent
Cm                      F
 and I felt like I river run dry
                       D#                      G  
but I don�t know where all of the rainwater went
 
And I believed we were all dead or dying
 but I see different in the blue light
 there is no such thing as a dawn or a dusk
 it is daylight until it is night
 
You�ve got to fight through the dimming
 You�ve got to run into the west
 You�ve go to rage against the dying of the light
 Live for the moment that�s left
 
G#
�Cause there is no such thing as a dying man
Cm
 We�re alive �till the moment we�re dead
G#
 and a drowning man is just a living man
G 
Who hasn�t run out of his last bit of breath.
