= Intro 0:00 - 0:32 =

Rhythm pattern: (played twice)

Lead plays main riff while rhythm pattern is repeated

= Verse 0:32 - 0:54 =

It's been thirty-one years

Since she's been in your arms

But don't worry about Mama

Mama's got a good heart

And I'm not looking for your love

I'm only sniffing out blood

Just a little taste of

where I came from

= Chorus 0:54 - 1:20 =

And at the bottom of this river

Is where I put you down to lay

So I can live with it

And in my heart heart heart

there are these waters

Where I put you down to lay

While I learn to live with it

Until I'm free

= Interlude 1:20 - 1:33 =

While lead plays main riff

= Verse 1:33 - 1:55 =

And it's been all my life

I've been wondering on the inside

What we could've had

If you'd had a part in my life

And there were children involved

And they were brothers to me

Even if we

never got to meet

= Chorus 1:55 - 2:20 =

And at the bottom of this river

Is where I put you down to lay

So I can live with it

And in my heart heart heart

there are these waters

Where I put you down to lay

While I learn to live with it

= Bridge 2:20 - 2:48 =

Until I'm free at last

from this shadow that hangs

Surely you wonder sometimes

And I'm sure you all sympathize

Just what a man's to become,

just like his daddy's done

I just want to love someone

Who has the same blood

Who has the same blood

= Interlude II 2:48 - 2:59 =

= Chorus 2:59 - 3:24 =

And at the bottom of this river

Is where I put you down to lay

So I can live with it

And in my heart heart heart

there are these waters

Where I put you down to lay

While I learn to live with it

= Outro 3:24 - 4:04 =

Keepsake

Until I'm free
