Verse 1:
DmDm FF
Well I was shacked up down in Mobile
G+G DmDm G+G DmDm
With a girl from New York City.
A minorAm G+G
She woke me up one night to tell me
DmDm C majorC DmDm
That we weren't alone.
FF C majorC
She said she saw the ghost
DmDm FF DmDm
Of a woman staring at me.
FF C majorC
I told her not to worry,
A minorAm DmDm FF DmDm
But in the morning when I woke up, she was gone.
FF G+G
So I headed on to Florida where
DmDm FF DmDm
I tangled with some sailors.
FF
And as I lay bloody on the wharf,
G+G DmDm G+G DmDm
I cursed the ship they sailed on.
A minorAm FF C majorC
Wouldn't you know, twenty four hours later
A minorAm DmDm A minorAm DmDm A minorAm
That ship sank into the ocean
FF C majorC A minorAm
Disappearing like an unwanted memory
DmDm FF DmDm
Beneath the waves.
Chorus 1:
G+G A minorAm A augmentedA A minorAm
I guess it's 'cause, still waters run,
G+G D MajorD A minorAm
Run deep in me
D MajorD A minorAm G+G
'Cause I got this crazy way
N.C. A augmentedA D MajorD C majorC D MajorD C majorC
Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters. (Still waters)
Verse 2:
DmDm FF
And I was woke up just before dawn
G+G DmDm G+G DmDm
By an old man crying in the rain.
D MajorD FF
He was drunk and he was lonely
G+G DmDm G+G DmDm G+G
And as he passed by he sang a hymn.
FF C majorC
And as I lay there listening,
A minorAm F minorFm DmDm D MajorD DmDm G+G
Well I almost joined him in that song
FF C majorC
But instead I just held my peace,
A minorAm DmDm G+G DmDm G+G
And waited 'till that old man moved along.
FF
Then later on that day about
G+G DmDm D MajorD DmDm
A augmentedA quarter mile out of town,
D MajorD FF
I found his body hanging in
G+G DmDm G+G DmDm G+G
A augmentedA grove of pines, swaying in the wind.
A minorAm FF C majorC A minorAm
And as he swang that rope sang another hymn
DmDm G+G DmDm G+G
To Jesus,
FF C majorC
And this time though I don't know why,
A minorAm DmDm A minorAm DmDm
I somehow felt inclined to sing along.
Chorus 2:
G+G A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
I guess it's cause, still waters run,
G+G A minorAm C majorC
Run deep in me
A minorAm G+G
'Cause I got this crazy way
N.C. DmDm C majorC G+G DmDm C majorC G+G D MajorD
crazy way I'm swimming in still waters. Still waters
Verse 3:
D MajorD
Don't you know there's projects for the dead
G+G DmDm FF DmDm
And there are projects for the living
FF
Thought I must confess sometimes
G+G DmDm
I get confused by that distinction
FF C majorC
And I just throw myself into the arms
A augmentedA DmDm
Of that which would betray me.
FF C majorC A minorAm
I guess to see how far Providence
DmDm G+G DmDm
Will stoop down just to save me.
Chorus 3:
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD A minorAm
And it's all because, still waters run,
G+G D MajorD
Run deep in me
A augmentedA A minorAm G+G
'Cause I've got this crazy way
N.C D MajorD A minorAm C majorC
Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters...
A augmentedA DmDm C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC DmDm G+G DmDm C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
swimming in still waters... stil waters.
