To The Water

Em D G
Em D G C

[Verse 1]

    Em     D       G
 I walked into the bedroom
       Em  D      G
 On a rainy afternoon
       Am     G   C
 And I heard her say to me
       Em     D   G      C
 Not a moment too soon

          Em    D         G
 She said child don't you worry
       Em    D        G
 I will always be with you
     Am      G     C
 From the way she'd looked at me
     Em        D      G             F
 I believed it to be true when she said
            C
 When she said

[Chorus]
                        Am
 I'm ready to close my eyes
              G    C
 Steady and hold tight
                       Em
 I'm gonna be crossing over
                       D
 To heaven and the great divide and I
                       Am
 I'm ready to close my eyes
            G  C
 Heavy and so wide
                     Em
 I can feel it put me under
                D
 Steady as the rising tide
                 Am
 Take me to the water
                    G       C    D
 By the road that leads you down
                 Em D G
 And lay me down

[Verse 2]
          Em  D       G
 It was early in the evening
               Em     D           G
 She gave all that she could give
       Am       G       C
 And i felt her leaving me
      Em      D           G
 But i learned how to live when she said
 F              C
 When she said

[Chorus]
                       Am
 I'm ready to close my eyes
                  G    C
 Steady and hold tight
                    G      Em
 I'm gonna be crossing over
                            D
 To heaven and the great divide and I
                       Am
 I'm ready to close my eyes
              G    C
 Heavy and so wide
                     Em
 I can feel it put me under
                      D
 Steady as the rising tide
                 Am
 Take me to the water
                    G       C    D
 By the road that leads you down
                 Em D G
 And lay me down
             Em D G
 Lay me down
                         Am
 I'm ready to close my eyes
               G     C
 Steady and hold tight
                       Em
 I'm gonna be crossing over
                            D
 To heaven and the great divide and I
                        Am
 I'm ready to close my eyes
                   G     C
 They're heavy and so wide
                       Em
 I can feel it put me under
                       D
 Steady as the rising tide
                     Am
 Take me to the water
                      G       C
 By the road that leads you down

[Outro]
                  Em
 Take me to the water
               D
 Scatter me around
                     Am
 Take me to the water
                    G        C
 By the road that leads you down
                 Em
 Take me to the water
               D
 Scatter me around
                  Am
 Take me to the water
                     G       C    D
 By the road that leads you down
                Em D G
 And lay me down
            Em D G
 Lay me down
