Chords with lyrics

Intro:
A minorAm

Verse 1:
A minorAm
I was fifteen when my daddy died,

Momma worked two jobs just to get by.

It seemed like a blessing when Harley came around,
              E minorEm   A minorAm
So she took his name but I had my doubts.

Verse 2:
A minorAm
It didnt' take long for his drinking ways

To start showin up on Momma's face

One violent night hiding under my bed
               E minorEm   A minorAm
I swore that he'd never see another sunset

Pre-Chorus:
Fsus2Fsus2    C majorC            G+G
 Next day I followed him down to the river bank
FF        C majorC      E7#9E7#9
 I knew one of us wouldn't walk away

Chorus:
 A minorAm
I mighta had a plan but he didn't know it

I mighta been scared but I didn't show it
C majorC    G+G        A minorAm
 That's all between the river and me
     A minorAm
With the current and the rocks it could have been risky

He might have been sober but I brought the whiskey
C majorC      G+G        A minorAm
 And that's all between the river and me

Verse 3:
A minorAm
I walked up to him and I said his name

Just so he could see the look on my face

We stood eye to eye and toe to toe
                   E minorEm    A minorAm
When I told him that he wasn't gonna come back home

Pre-Chorus:
Fsus2Fsus2      C majorC        G+G
  He raised his fist to me but I didn't flinch
    FF       C majorC        E7#9E7#9
I said- I ain't your son you son of a b**ch

Chorus 2:
 A minorAm
I mighta had a knife in my back pocket

I mighta pulled it out before he saw it
C majorC    G+G        A minorAm
 That's all between the river and me
 A minorAm
I mighta had a gun but I didn't fire it

He mighta tried to yell but I kept him quiet
C majorC    G+G        A minorAm
 That's all between the river and me
C majorC    G+G        A minorAm
 That's all between the river and me

Instrumental:
A5A5  E7#9E7#9  A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm

Verse 4:
A minorAm
The sheriff came knockin on our front door

Said they found his body by the reservoir

Bottle in his shirt, liquor in his blood
                   E minorEm     A minorAm
Must have fallen in the river and he never came up

Chorus 3:
A minorAm
Might've been blood but they never saw it

Just a little mud on the living room carpet
C majorC    G+G        A minorAm
 That's all between the river and me
  A minorAm
But after what he did, no, there ain't no wonder

Can't remember how long I held him under
C majorC    G+G        A minorAm
 That's all between the river and me
C majorC    G+G        A minorAm
 That's all between the river and me yeah
C majorC    G+G        A minorAm
 That's all between the river and me
C majorC       G+G      E7#9E7#9 E minorEm A minorAm
 That's all, that's all.
