Deep Water

Am Em B7 Em Am Em Way down below Higdon Creek B7 Em I met a man with no shoes on his feet Am Em A Colt in his hand, he peered at me B7 Em Said you'd better run boy and not be seen with me Am Em The face he had was one of regret B7 Em Said he'd seen too many a young men dead Am Em He killed a few up at Higdon Creek B7 Em And tossed 'em in the deep ole water for the fish to eat Am Em 'Lest you wanna share the same fate B7 Em Man, you should've seen the look on his face When he said Em C7 Deep water, won't you pull me under? B7 Em Won't you pull me closer to the end? Em C7 Deep water, won't you pull me deeper? B7 Em Won't you cleanse my bloody hands? Am Em He knocked me out with one swift punch B7 Em Tied me up and drug me through the mud Am Em He took me back to where the others had gone B7 Em Then he laid me there beside that creek all alone Am Em And I awoke to the sound of police B7 Em He put the Colt barrel between my teeth Am Em I could hear them cops all calling for me B7 Em But then he pulled the trigger and that was the end of me And I said Em C7 Deep water, won't you pull me under? B7 Em Won't you pull me closer to the end? Em C7 Deep water, won't you pull me deeper? B7 Em Won't you cleanse my bloody hands? Em C7 Deep water, won't you pull me under? B7 Em Won't you pull me closer to the end? Em C7 Deep water, won't you pull me deeper? B7 Em C7 Lord, forgive me of my sins
