Dead On The River by Ian Noe
Dead On The River
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
[Intro]
| Am Fadd9 | Am Fadd9 | Am Fadd9 | Am Fadd9 |
[Verse 1]
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Mary almost made it to twenty-nine
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
The mother of an orphan and a friend of mine
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Painted up with high heels on her feet
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Making what she could from this filthy street
[Chorus]
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Dead on the river yesterday
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Been gutted like some varmint, so they say
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
With a tangled rope around her, she was bound
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Dead on the river, rolling down
[Instrumental]
| Am Fadd9 | Am Fadd9 |
[Verse 2]
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Well, I was quotin' scripture at an early age
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
The old man ruled his household in a gospel rage
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Up and down our hallway, the Bible spilled
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Left behind a sinner in the mill and field
[Chorus]
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Dead on the river yesterday
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
I don't know how much longer that I can stay
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
They're saying now there were two more bodies found
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Dead on the river, rolling down
[Instrumental]
| Am Fadd9 | Am Fadd9 | Am Fadd9 | Am Fadd9 | Am Fadd9 | Am Fadd9 |
[Verse 3]
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
The Feds are in their best suits, pulling rank
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Scattered out with their bloodhounds along the bank
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
And the city lights, they flicker on the one-lane bridge
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
The siren echoes bouncing along the ridge
[Chorus]
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Dead on the river yesterday
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
I need a flood to wash my sins away
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Like an ancient hickory, twisted, turning brown
Am Fadd9 Am Fadd9
Dead on the river, rolling down
[Outro]
| Am Fadd9 |
(repeat and fade)
