Written In The Water Acoustic chords by Gin Wigmore
Guitar chords with lyrics
Written in the Water: Die Regardless” – Gin Wigmore
(Radio New Zealand session acoustic version)
[Notes]
Bm* denotes bm barre chord on 7th fret
Em* denotes em barre chord on 7th fret
F#* denotes F# barre chord on 9th fret
all other chords play as normal; random barre indicated with (br)
Sounds good when chords are played as quarter notes on the beat and muted with frethand
(by squeezing the fretboard); open up to strumming in the chorus
[Intro] Bm* (4 measures)
[Verse 1]
Bm*
I was born by the devil I was left here to die
Em*
I was held up for ransom
F#*
On the cold summer skies
Bm*
I was told not to love him I was told not to try
Em*
I was lonely the only
F#*
Til he said he'd be mine
Bm*
He will leave me for younger he will leave me to cry
Em*
Cut the knife a little deeper
F#m*
Count the days I've survived
(break)
[Chorus]
G(br)
Yeah, it's written in the water
Em
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
Bm
Telling me that I should leave you
A(br)
Like I did two times before
G(br)
I'll be fine if I met you
Em
And you've still have had to roam
Bm
Give me one kiss for the road boy
A Bm* (go back to downstroking here)
I guess it's time I let you go
[Verse 2]
Bm*
I will run to the river I will reach for the well
Em*
Drown my sorrows from someone
F#*
In my hope I leave this hell
Bm*
I can't live for forgiveness I can't live with the lie
Em*
I won't be what you wanted
F#*
No I won't be what you like
(break)
[Chorus] x3

And you've still have had to roam

Give me one kiss for the road boy
