Cold Dark Waters chords by 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
