Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
Am
I was fifteen when my daddy died
      Am
Momma worked two jobs just to get by
Am
Seemed like a blessing when Harley came around
       Am                  Em     Am
So she took his name but I had my doubts
Am
Didn't take long for his drinking ways
         Am
To start showing up on momma's face
    Am
One violent night hiding under my bed
  Am                         Em         Am
I swore that he wouldn't see another sunset
F            C                        G
  Next day I followed him down to the riverbank
F               C           E
  I knew one of us wouldn't walk away

Chorus:
  Am
I mighta had a plan but he didn't know it
  Am
I mighta been scared but I didn't show it
C           G            Am
  That's all between the river and me
         Am
With the current and the rocks, it could have been risky
   Am
He mighta been sober but I brought the whiskey
C           G            Am
  That's all between the river and me

Interlude:
C

Verse 2:
  Am
I walked up to him and I said his name
Am
Just so he could see the look on my face
   Am
We stood eye to eye and toe to toe
       Am                            Em        Am
When I told him that he wasn't gonna come back home
F               C                G
  He raised his fist to me but I didn't flinch
      F               C                       E
I said, ”I ain't your son you son of a bitch”


Chorus:
  Am
I mighta had a knife in my back pocket
  Am
I mighta pulled it out before he saw it
C           G            Am
  That's all between the river and me
  Am
I mighta had a gun but I didn't fire it
   Am
He mighta tried to yell but I kept him quiet
C           G            Am
  That's all between the river and me

That's all between the river and me


Instrumental Interlude:
A  E  Am Em Am

Bridge:
Am
Sheriff came knocking on our front door
     Am
They said they found his body by the reservoir
Am
Bottle in his shirt and liquor in his blood
             Am                         Em         Am
He must have fallen in the river and he never came up


Chorus:
      Am
There mighta been blood but they never saw it
Am
Just a little mud on the living room carpet
C           G            Am
  That's all between the river and me
      Am
Well, after what he done, there ain't no wonder
  Am
I can't remember how long I held him under
C           G            Am
  That's all between the river and me


Outro:
C           G            Am
  That's all between the river and me
C           G            Am
  That's all between the river and me
C           G            E    Em    Am
  That's all, that's all
