Em
Listen up all you beggars,
you liars and you thieves
I'm about to bring you something
that's gonna take you to your knees
     Am                             Em
You know that I could never let you down
          Am
When you feel the might and you hear that
          Em
old soul sound

You've been waiting on the wind
You've been waiting on the winds of change
To blow your sails into the night
Oh, but all you do is sit and cry

Chorus:
Em
You got to go down to the river
and wash your soul clean
You got to go down to the river
and wash your soul clean
You got to go down to the river
and wash your soul clean
You got to go down to the river
and wash your soul clean

Em
What you want, you ain't got
What you got is all that you need
What you want, you ain't got
What you got is all that you need
