Jim White - Still waters

^DmWell I was shacked up down in ^FMobile With a^G girl from New York^Dm City.^{G Dm Am}She woke me up one night to tell me^G That we weren't ^Dmalone.^{C Dm} Sh^Fe said she saw the gh^Cost Of a woman staring at ^Dmme. ^{F Dm} I ^Ftold her not to w^Corry, ^AmBut in the morning when I woke up, she was go^Dmne. ^{F Dm} So I head^Fed on to Flori^Gda where I tangled with some s^Dmailors^F. ^Dm And as I lay bloo^Fdy on the wharf, I cur^Gsed the ship they sailed^Dm on.^{G Dm}

^AmWouldn't you kn^Fow, twenty four hours late^Cr That ship sank in^Amto the ocea^Dmn ^{Am Dm Am F}Disappearing ^Clike an unwanted memory^Am Beneath the wave^Dms. ^{F Dm}

I gu^Gess it's 'ca^Amuse, still ^Awaters ru^Amn, Run^G deep ^Din ^Amme 'Cause I^D got ^Amthis crazy wa^Gy

And I was^Dm woke up just befor^Fe dawn By an ol^Gd man crying in th^Dme rain.^{G Dm D}He was drunk and he was l^Fonely ^GAnd as he passed by he sang a hym^Dmn. ^{G Dm G F}And as I lay there list^Cening, ^AmWell I almost joined h^Fmim in that s^Dmong ^{D Dm G F}But instead I just hel^Cd my peace, ^AmAnd waited 'till that old man moved a^Dmlong^G. ^{Dm G} Then later on that d^Fay about ^GA quarter mile out of ^Dmtown,^{D Dm D}I found his body hanging in^F A grove of ^Gpines, swaying ^Dmin the wind.^{G Dm G Am}And as he swang^F that rope sa^Cng another ^Amhymn To^Dm Jesus,^{G Dm G F}And this time thoug^Ch I don't know why, I somehow f^Amelt inclined to sing along^Dm. ^{Am Dm}
