Rolling Waters

G C G If I ever learned that you had told me lies C G I would open up my eyes C G I'd cut off all my ties Em And I would drive C Em C And I doubt that we would ever meet again alive G C G There are some things that I always hold inside C G They torture me at night C G They weigh down on my mind Em Just like a stone C Em C They are the only things a man can call his own C* Em* And these are rolling waters C* Am I set you on a hill C Bm And I went myself to k**l my brother C Em C G 2x G C G I met a man who scattered salt upon the earth C G I grabbed him by his shirt C G I fought him in the dirt Em But he just slipped away C Em C And the ground, it was already barren anyway G C G I built myself a fence around the yard C G I built it up in parts C G Without an end, without a start Em It went all about C Em C G Then I tore it all back down 'cause there was no one to keep out Bm C One thing that I've come to learn G C Em Is sheep, they sometimes also dress like wolves C* Em* And these are rolling waters C* Am I set you on a hill C Bm And I went myself to k**l my brother C Em C G 2x C Em Let him run, let him run, let him run C Em G Am I'll be there to run with you C Em Let him run, let him run, let him run C Em G Am I'll be right behind him running on G C G If I ever learned that you had told me lies C G I would curse these cloudy skies C G I'd take off this disguise Em And I'd arise C Em C And I doubt that you could look me in the eyes C Em Am Yeah the flame, it always burns and then it dies C* Em* And these are rolling waters C* Am I set you on a hill C Bm And I went myself to k**l my brother C Em Am Oh but the life I took, it was another's C* Em* And these are rolling waters C* Am* They'll never stay impure C Em C This will all be washed away when I return Em G When I return C Em C G 2x
