          E          F#           E     F#
There's a river runs through this valley
E        F#       E    F#
Cold and deep and black
E       F#     E    F#   E    F#          E   F#  E
Comin'  like a tombstone shadow across my back

     F# E   F# B                 E   F# E
Trouble river, six foot high and rising
     F# E   F# B                       | E F# | E F# | E F# | E F#
Trouble river, I can't keep from cryin'

       E       F#    E   F#
I woke up last night shakin'
E    F#         E    F#
Shakin'  from a dream
     E     F#       E       F#    E       F#      E  F#  E
That all I seen was smiling faces staring back at me

       E        F#     E  F#
Snakes crawling in the hi house
    E     F#       E     F#
I'm stuck in muddy ground
  E         F#    E         F#
Tonight I'm gonna shed this skin
       E       F#            E      F#
'Cause water's risin'  and I goin'  down to

F# E   F# B                 E   F# E
