Chords for Frankie laine - SWAMP GIRL

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ Where the crane _ flies through the _ _ marshes
And the turtles sun _ their shells
_ _ _ Where the water rat _ _ goes swimming _
_ _ _ That's where my swamp girl _ _ _ dwells
Where the [Eb] sunlight [G] _ _
never _ _ wanders
_ And the moonlight _ _ _ never _ falls
_ [Db] Where [Cm] the _ _ water's black _ [G] with the [C] devil's trap
_ _ _ [G] That's where my swamp girl calls _ _
What _ [Fm] did she say there, the girl with the golden hair
Do make me [Cm] follow her down there
How did she [Fm] look _ [G] when she took me by the hair
[A] _ _
_ _ [D] Tonight [Cm] her hair will float [Bb] in the water
And [Ab] the gold will no [G] longer shine
[Cm] It will spread like a fan [Bb] in the water
[Ab] While she makes a mysterious [G] sign
I have seen that sign [Cm]
before
_ _ [F] _ _ [Cm] Her [G] eyes aren't like the whippoorwill
_ And her _ eyes aren't _ like the _ [G] fawn _
[Cm] Her eyes are like the [Db] diamond bag
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[G] Stretching in the dawn
_ I have [Cm] seen her face in [Gb] the water
And [G] the chilling look in [Cm] her eyes
And if you see her, then you [D] must flee her
[G] Never follow where [Cm] disillusion lies
Or [D] will you go to the girl with the golden hair
[Cm] Down there where her work is done
Will [C] you embrace the night [G] and turn your back on the sun
_ [Cm] _ _ _ She'll say it's better there [Bb] in the water
Where [Ab] it's cool and calm [G] and serene
She [Cm] will call you to come to [Bb] the water
To [Ab] a world made of emerald [G] green
I have heard that call before
_ [C] _ _
I can hear it _ when I'm weary
_ I can hear it [Db] _ when I'm ill _ _
I can [Eb] hear it [Db] when _
[Cm] the [Bbm] joy of living
[Fm] _
Seems [G] to have _ [Cm] lost its thrill _
For my [Fm] swamp girl _ lives inside of me
[G] And she leaves [Db] me [Cm] pale and worn _
_ She dares me, [G] _ _
she _ tears [Ab] me _ _
[Db] Like [Abm] paper [C] _ _ dolls are [Cm] _ torn
_ [D] Calling come to the deep where [Db] your sleep is _ without [Cm] a _ [Gm] dream _ _
_ [Cm] _ Calling come to the deep where [C] your sleep _ [Cm] is without a dream _ _
