Intro [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [C] Late on a Friday my husband went up to the [F] mountains with three [C] friends They took provisions and bottles of bourbon to [F] last them all through the [C] weekend [Am] One hundred [C] miles they drove [Am] just to fish in a [F] stream [C] There's so much [F] water so [G] close to [C] home [F] [C] [C] When they arrived it was cold and dark, they [F] set up they're camp [C] quickly Warmed up with whisky they walked to the river where the [F] water flowed past [C] darkly In the [Am] moonlight they saw the [C] body, of a [Am] girl floating face [F] down [C] There's so much [F] water [G] so close to [C] home [F] [C] [F] [Chorus1] [Bass run into the chorus A B C F] When he [F] holds me now I'm [C] pretending I feel [F] like I'm frozen [G] inside And [F] behind my [C] eyes, my [F] daily [C] disguise [F] Everything's [G] turning to [C] white [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [Bass run into the EFGAG] [C]
C It was too hard to tell how long she's been dead the F river was that close to C freezing But one things for sure, the girl hadn't died very F well to judge from the C bruising They Am stood there above her all C thinking, the Am same thoughts at the same F time There's [C] so much [F] water [G] so close to [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C]
[spoken]
C So here's what they did, they carried her downstream from their fishing Between F two smooth rocks they gently C wedged her After all it was late, they had come a long way, and the F girl would keep, she was C nowhere Am They stayed up there C fishing for two days They Am reported it on Sunday when they came back F down [Sung] C There's so much F water G so close to C home F C F
[Chorus2]
When he F holds me now I'm C pretending Nothing F is working G inside And F behind my C eyes, my F daily C disguise [F] Everything's [G] turning to [C] white [F] [C][F] [C] [F] [bass note run EFGAG] [C]
C The newspapers said the girl had been strangled to F death, and also C molested On the day of the funeral, the radio reported that a young F man had been C arrested Am I went to the service a C stranger, Am I drove past the lake out of F town [C] There's so much [F] water [G] so close to [C] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C]
[Repeat Chorus1]
