Jim White - Still waters

Well I was ^Amshacked up down in ^CMobile With a ^Dgirl from New York ^AmCity. ^{E9sus4 Am E9sus4} She ^Amwoke me up one ^Cnight to tell me ^DThat we weren't al^Amone. ^{E9sus4 Am E9sus4} She ^Csaid she saw the ^Gghost Of a ^Gwoman staring ^Amat me.^{E9sus4 Am E9sus4} I ^Ctold her not to wo^Grry, But in the ^Gmorning when I ^Emwoke up, She was ^Amgone. ^{E9sus4 Am E9sus4}

So I ^Amheaded on to ^CFlorida where I ^Dtangled with some ^Amsailor^E9sus4s. ^{Am E9sus4} And as ^AmI lay bloody ^Con the wharf, I ^Dcursed the ship they ^Amsailed^E9sus4 on. ^{Am E9sus4} Wouldn't you know, ^Ctwenty four hours ^Glater That ship ^Gsank into the ^Amocean ^{E9sus4 Am E9sus4 C}Disappearing ^Glike an un^Gwanted memo^Emry Beneath the ^Amwaves.^{E9sus4 Am E9sus4}

I guess it's 'cause, ^Emstill ^Dwaters ^Emrun, Run ^Ddeep in ^Emme 'Cause I ^Dgot this ^Emcrazy ^Dway ^N.C.Crazy way I'm swimming in still ^Amwaters. (Still waters)

And I was ^Amwoke up just before ^Cdawn By an ^Dold man crying ^Amin t^E9sus4he rain.^{Am E9sus4} He was ^Amdrunk and he was ^Clonely And as ^Dhe passed by he ^Amsang a^E9sus4 hymn. ^{Am E9sus4} And ^Cas I lay there ^Glistening, Well I ^Galmost joined him ^Amin that song^{E9sus4 Am E9sus4} But in^Cstead I just ^Gheld my peace, And ^Gwaited 'till that ^Emold man moved a^Amlong. ^{E9sus4 Am E9sus4}

Then ^Amlater on that ^Cday about A ^Dquarter mile ^Amout of^E9sus4 town, ^{Am E9sus4} I found his ^Ambody hanging ^Cin A grove of ^Dpines, swaying ^Amin the^E9sus4 wind. ^{Am E9sus4} And ^Cas he swang that ^Grope sang a^Gnother hymn To ^AmJesus,^{E9sus4 Am E9sus4} And ^Cthis time though I ^Gdon't know why, I ^Gsomehow felt in^Emclined to sing a^Amlong. ^{E9sus4 Am E9sus4}

I guess it's 'cause, ^Emstill ^Dwaters ^Emrun, Run ^Ddeep in ^Emme 'Cause I ^Dgot this ^Emcrazy way ^{D N.C.}Crazy way I'm swimming in still ^Amwaters.

Well, don't you know there's ^Amprojects for the ^Cdead And there are ^Dprojects for the ^Amliving^{E9sus4 Am E9sus4} Though I ^Ammust confess some^Ctimes I get conf^Dused by that dis^Amtincti^E9sus4on ^{Am E9sus4} And I just ^Cthrow myself in^Gto the arms Of ^Gthat which would be^Amtray m^E9sus4e. ^{Am E9sus4} I ^Cguess to see how f^Gar ^GProvidence Will ^Emstoop down just to ^Amsave m^E9sus4e. ^{Am E9sus4}

And it's all because, ^Emstill ^Dwaters ^Emrun, Run ^Ddeep in ^Emme 'Cause I ^Dgot this ^Emcrazy way ^{D N.C.}Crazy way I'm swimming in still ^Amwaters.
