Deep Water chords by Nicki Bluhm And The Gramblers

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C

C
There I was in Arizona
G                              C
Playing stud with a dead man's hand
C
In the thick of a nasty downswing
G                              C
Getting coffee-housed by a well-dressed man
C
But my main concern was a big stack bully
 G                                  C
Who knocked 3 times then he laid 'em down
C

I knew right then it wasn't going to be pretty
G                                   C
I had to vamoose but I didn't know how
F                       C
Thought I was cool as a cactus
G                              C
Holding tricks, waiting for the ace
        Bb F                        C
My poker face I guess needs some practice
G                                 C
I finally learned how deep water tastes
C
I got stopped in Salt Lake City
G                                     C
I was trying to pass when I heard the howl
G                                     C
That policeman said "you sure are pretty"
G                                       C
It's a gawl-darn shame I gotta take you down
F                          C
Thought I was free as a pheasant
G                       C
Flying low chasing my dreams
        Bb F                  C
It's kinda strange out in the desert
G                                 C
I finally learned what deep water means

Thought I was free as a pheasant
G                       C
