G C9 G Late on a Friday my husband went up to the mountains with 3 friends G C9 G They took provisions and bottles of bourbon to last them all through the weekend Em G Em C One hundred miles they drove just to fish in a stream C D G There's so much water so close to home Verse 2 (Same Chord Progression) When they arrived it was cold and dark, they set up they're camp quickly Warmed up with whisky they walked to the river where the water flowed by star clean In the moonlight they saw the body, of a girl floating face down There's so much water so close to home Chorus 1 C9 G As he holds me know I'm pretending C9 D It feels like i'm frozen inside C9 G C9 G And behind my eyes, my daily disguise C9 D G Everything's turning to white Verse 3 (same) It was too hard to tell how long she's been dead The water was that close to freezing But one things for sure, the girl hadn't died very well to judge from the bruising They stood there above her all thinking, the same thoughts at the same time There's so much water so close to home Verse 4 Same as before but first 3 lines So here's what they did, they carried her downstream , between two rocks they gently wedged her After al it was latel they had come a long way well the girl she was going nowhere They stayed up there fishing for two days, they reported when they came back down There's so much water so close to home Chorus 2 Same as before Verse 5 The newspapers said the girl had been stragled to death, and also molested On the day of the funeral, the radio reported that a young man had been arrested I went to the service a stranger, I drove past the lake out of town There's so much water, So close to home Chorus 3 Same as before but drawn out to end the song.
