[Verse]
G#m E C#m
Marry me by the Mississippi River, baby
G#m
Take the train to New Orleans
E C#m
Tell me that I'm yours forever
G#m E C#m
Marry me by the Mississippi River, baby
G#m
Take the train to New Orleans
E C#m
Tell me that I'm yours forever
G#m
Soldier, fightin' to the end
E C#m
I'll never be alone again
G#m
His love is endless
E C#m
As mighty as a weapon
[Chorus]
G#m
Never gonna let you go
E C#m
Never gonna let you go-o-o
G#m
Never gonna let you go
E C#m
Never gonna let you go-o-o
[Verse]
G#m
Carry me, to first [?]
E C#m
Then kiss me in a cemetery
G#m
Ebony keys, and ivory
E C#m
By the white gate serenade me
G#m
Til the water starts rising
E C#m
And the levee overflows
G#m
Sinners and saints gonna leave this place
E C#m
But together we'll fight the storm
[Chorus]
G#m
Never gonna let you go
E C#m
Never gonna let you go-o-o
G#m
Never gonna let you go
E C#m
Never gonna let you go-o-o
[Verse]
G#m
My days of darkness
E C#m
The easy days are gone
G#m
Washed away
E C#m
I need shelter in your arms
G#m
My dreams are drownin'
E C#m
Along with this old town
G#m
Paradise is falling
E C#m
How do we get back home?
[Chorus]
G#m
Never gonna let you go
E C#m
Never gonna let you go-o-o
G#m
Never gonna let you go
E C#m
Never gonna let you go-o-o
