Verse:  0:17- 0:32

E                  C             D
"Don't go there" I heard her say.
E                              C            G
"You can't stomach what you're going to see"
E                       C            D
It's down there, by the water's edge
 E                       C          G
wasted and bloated and waiting for someone else

Verse: 0:41- 0:56

E                C                D
Funny how, these things come about
E                       C               G
when you're tied to the teeth and mouth
E                     C           D
No sound or fury, no shot of pain
           E             C       G
there was no real reason, no gain

I didn't do it.....I saw who did
E5                   C5/G        D5/A
Don't go down to the water's edge
E5                            C5/G     G5
they did it once and they can do it again

It ain't no secret to me
E                   C             G
how she got there down by the stream
E                     C      D
I'd seen her a minute before
      E               C          G
the van pulled up and opened the door

Verse: 1:46- 2:01

E                 C           D
I can't say a single word
E                    C     G
 about what I saw of her
E                   C                D
her killers....they got their friends
         E            C           G
in familiar places, I tell you man

and I'm feeling so ashamed
E                   C        D
because I didn't do anything
