Jim Reeves - Deep dark water

^GAlone and so lonesome ^Cbored and so blue I got the urge to ^Gramble so I ^A7took a drink or ^D7two

It ^Gtempted me to ^B7trifle then my ^Ctrue heart went ^Gastray So I ^Cwandered in dark ^Gwater and just ^D7threw my life ^Gaway

I ^D7know that it was wrong to fool ^Garound this way so long Some^A7one was sawing on the limb that ^D7I was sitting on

I looked ^Gdown and I ^B7found I could ^Cdrown in deep dark ^Gwater So I ^Ccried when I real^Gized I ^D7couldn't ^Gswim

A fool and his money calls for ^Cwhiskey and for gin Filled to the gills and ^Gfalling for the ^A7weaknesses as a ^D7man

From ^Gone fool to ^B7another ^Cwrong is never ^Gright I ig^Cnored advice from ^Gmother and brother ^D7look at me to^Gnight

^D7Unsteady as I go with deep dark ^Gwater down below They keep ^A7sawing louder on my limb and ^D7soon I'll have to go

Life's been ^Gsmall hear my ^B7call as I ^Cfall in deep dark ^Gwater Don't be a ^Cwould-be king and ^Gtumble ^D7from your ^Gthrone
