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
