D
I'm going down to the river gonna
take me my rocking chair,
       G7
Going down to the river gonna take me
             D
my rocking chair.
             A7
And if those  blues don't leave me,
                         D
Gonna rock on away from here.
      A7            D
(The reasons why I love you)

If you want me woman
Please don't act so shy
And if you want me woman
Please don't pass me by
I love those sideways glances
Your shoulder and your thigh

Chorus:
      G                      D
I see inside your eyes, the Baba's Sai,
     A7            D
The reasons why I love you.

So if you're still busy hiding
What it is you've got?
And if you're frightened of losing
When you like a lot
You may be cruising backwards
While thinking that you're not

Chorus:
I see inside your eyes
The Baba's Sai
The reasons why I love you

So if you don't get the picture
You won't know what I feel
If you don't get the picture
Then you won't have a depth of field
You may be going someplace
Some place you've already been
