Deep River Woman 
by Lionel Richie and Alabama 
 
G Bm7        C    D 
Deep River Woman 
G     Bm7              Am7    C/D 
Lord I'm comin home to you 
G Bm7        C    D 
Deep River Woman 
Am                C 
Lord I know she's waiting 
Am             C   C/D   G 
Just anticipating all my love 
 
 
G                 Bm7 
Spent a night in LA 
      Am7                   C/D 
just another chance to see you 
G    Bm7      Am7     C/D 
just you and I 
G                Bm7 
Wanted you to know 
         Am7             C/D 
that my playin days are over 
     Am7               F 
cause all I do is think of you 
                     D 
The writings on the wall 
 
== Chorus == 
 
I've been out in the world 
I guess the fast lif had me going 
Now all tha's changed 
Finally made up my mind 
bout the one thing I've been knowing 
You're the only girl 
I've ever cared for in this world 
 
== Chorus == 
F                      C/D      G 
Your kind of love girl is forever 
F                   C/E    G 
Took me a long time to realize 
           C               C/D          G 
that I've come so far to end up going nowhere 
        C              C/D 
Girl I need you by my side 
 
== Chorus == 
== Chorus == 
 
Hope you enjoy!
