[Intro]
G C G D G
 
[Chorus]
G                                               C
Lord, I'm goin' uptown, to the Harlem River to drown,
                  G                D                    G
Dirty water gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound
 
[Verse 1]
G                                                                C
I'm on a roll, mama, I gotta go, I gotta get there while I still can,
                   G                                            D
Troubled days are behind me now and I know they're gonna let me in,
            G                                                                 C
So when you see me walkin' up the FDR drive, just a-singin' and a-clappin' my hands
                                  G                      D                    G
Tell my mama I love her, tell my Daddy I tried, give my money to my baby to spend.
 
[Chorus]
G                                              C
Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown
                     G                D                    G
Dirty water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound
 
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
G                                                C
Good times come and they go, even a good man'll break
                       G                                             D
He'll let his troubles bury him whole even though he knows what's at stake
       G                                                            C
So I'm taking no chances, carrying over while I'm still good in His grace
                     G                           D                        G
I'm no fool, mama, I know the difference between tempting and choosing my fate
 
[Chorus]
G                                              C
Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown
                     G                D                    G
Dirty water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound
G                                              C
Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown
                     G                D                    G
Dirty water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound
