Artist : Eric Clapton (/Simon Climie)

Author : Al Watson



Bound to become a classic - I have seen a fairly accurate transcription of

this and have a fairly good interpretation myself. This is my first transcription

so I have just invented the Tab as I went along.

There is quite a lot of arpeggioed rhythm guitar which is repeated so

please excuse me for not writing it out each time.

There were I suspect at least 3 guitar tracks on the original:



1 - Main Rhythm (arpeggioed chords)

2 - Lead / Rhythm 

3 - Slide



I have not transcribed the slide part yet but could try - this is because

of the difficulty of getting accurate intonation and the difference between

players have the slide on the neck to acheive a certain note.



As usual you will need to listen to the track for all the timings.

It's three miles to the river that would carry me away,

and two miles to the dusty street that I saw you on today,

It's four miles to my lonely room where I'm gonna hide my face,

and about half a mile to the downtown bar that I ran from in disgrace



Lord how long have I got to keep on running?

Seven hours, seven days or seven years?

All I know is since you've been gone, feel like I'm drowning 

in a river

Drowning in a river of tears

Drowning in a river

Feel like I'm drowning, drowning in a river



In three more days, I leave this town, and disappear without a trace,

a year from now maybe settle down, where no one knows my face,

I wish that I could hold you one more time to ease the pain,

But my times run out and I got to go, got to run away again



Still I catch myself thinking one day I'll find my way back here

And you'll save me from drowning, 

Drowning in a river, drowning in a river of tears

Drowning in a river, Feels like I'm drowning,

Drowning in a river

Lord how long must this go on?



Drowning in a river, drowning in a river of tears.
