Cold Dark Waters Chords & Lyrics Artist: Porter Wagoner

C                              G7         C
In tomorrow's newspaper you'll read about me 
 
                                G7
But they won't tell the story I know 
 
    C                   F
For they'll only say he plunged yesterday 
 
       C         G7     C
To the cold dark waters below
 
 
  F                        C
I guess it all started the day we first met
 
                                G7
You promised that you'd love me so 
 
    C                        F
And I never thought it would end in regret
 
       C         G7     C
In the cold dark waters below 
 
 
                             G7           C
In a moment I'll ride on the drift of the tide 
 
                                 G7
And I hope your conscience hurts so 
 
        C                             F
All the tears that I've cried will be easy to hide
 
       C         G7     C
In the cold dark waters below 
 
 
    F                      C
Now I hear them running to try and stop me 
 
                                  G7
They're shouting oh don't let him go 
 
    C                          F
But it's far too late and I'll soon meet my fate 
 
       C         G7     C
In the cold dark waters below
 
 
F      C         G7     C
In the cold dark waters below
