[Intro]
C F C G
 
[Verse 1]
Am            C                 Fmaj7       C
   Green-eyed looker, it always pains me to see
Am              C                   G       G
   Hollowed-out picture of skin and bone
Am               C               Fmaj7    C
   The strangest stranger that I ever did meet
Am          C                  G       G
   Oh and I guess I ain't that old
 
[Verse 2]
Am             C               Fmaj7  C
   She came on strong with her confidence
Am          C                     G       G
   Make you sweat in your cotton, though it'll breathe
Am                  C              Fmaj7       C
   And the cruelest behavior ain't born or mined—
Am              C                      G       G
   To fill her shell she'll just go and down the wine
 
[Verse 3]
Am            C     Em7     Am
   It's deep water, driving rain
Am               C             G       G
   And all I can remember is a cold
Am                    C             Fmaj7       C
   Another burned-out lover who was begging to leave—
Am               C                     G            G
   She said "why wouldn't you tie your soul to me?"
 
[Verse 4]
Am            C         Fmaj7   C
   Took all I had in my waiting cell
Am                C                   G       G
   And a little of what I just don't know
Am              C              Fmaj7       C
   But I got my thinking up to where I fell
Am               C                     G       G
   And I let the memories of my lovers die
 
[Verse 5]
Am        C                  Fmaj7       C
   It's a bitter taste and a blinding light
Am               C                 G       G
   And time fade burns, most would know
Am         C                 Fmaj7       C
   I took the hand of the woman I love
Am           C                   G         G
   Now I am sure I'm gonna make her my own
 
[Verse 6]
Am        C             Em7     Am
   It's a deep water, a driving rain—
Am              C             G       G
   I'm making a shelter of my own
Am            C                Fmaj7       C
   When Jesus comes he's gonna eat with me
Am                C                 G       G
   And he's gonna find our children hope
 
[Verse 7]
Am            C                Fmaj7       C
   Got a road all laid out and trenched
Am          C                    G       G
   And mind enough for a walking pace
Am         C                  Fmaj7       C
   It seems a difference from where I've come
Am                 C                      G          G
   And oh Lord I'd love to see that place again
 
[Verse 8]
Am               C      Em7      Am
   With its deep water, mountain range
Am                   C           G       G
   And full of those hard-living kind
Am        C              Fmaj7  C
   Petrol stations and a copper mine—
Am             C               G       G
   The kind of place I think I could die
