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]
