[Intro]
F  F  F  F


[Verse 1]
Dm   C      F
Oh, oh deep water
Dm             C        F
Black and cold like the night
  Bb                   C          F             Bb
I stand with arms wide open, I've run a twisted line
      Bb              C           F
I'm a stranger in the eyes of the Maker


[Verse 2]
  Dm                    C         F
I could not see for the fog in my eyes
  Dm                     C          F
I could not feel for the fear in my life
          Bb                C            F                Bb
And from across the great divide, in the distance I saw a light
        Bb            C              F
Jean Baptiste walking to me with the Maker


[Verse 3]
   Dm      C        F
My body is bent and broken
   Dm       C         F
By long and dangerous sleep
        Bb                 C            F            Bb
I can't work the fields of Abraham, and turn my head away
          Bb              C            F
I'm not a stranger in the hands of the Maker


[Verse 4]
        Dm             C                 F
Brother John, have you seen the homeless daughters
Dm                  C      F
Standing there with broken wings
       Bb               C       F                  Bb
I have seen the flaming swords, there over east of Eden
Bb             C           F
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Bb             C           F
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Bb             C           F
Burning in the eyes of the Maker


[Outro]
F
Oh, river rise from your sleep
