[Am] [Bb] There is [C] a spring not far [F] from here
The water
[C] runs so [F] sweet and clear
So sweet [Dm] and clear
I could [Bb]
crack [C] your bones [Bb] with [F] veins of gold
I stood a [C]
-wagging at [F] the tap
Just a [C]-waiting on the lagging [F] rising sap
I [Bb] held the cotton lad down to [G] my lip
[Gm] At the shrine [C] of a thousand alums, oh Lord, [Bb] my eyes [F] do set
[G] What a beautiful [Cm]
day [G] to catch [C] my drift
[Cm] Because [Ab]
of [Bb] [Eb] being in it
[Ab]
You want your [G] love, [F] [Bb] so come and get your [G] love
I only [C] took it back because I [Bb] thought [F] you didn't
How [Bb] my ears [C] did ring at the municipal [F]
pound
From that old hanged
[C] dock
To [F]
which I was bound, curled round the [Dm]
[Bb]
orange hue
Well, come [C] on, darling, I could use someone [Bb] like you [F] around
[Bb] I am not [C] like you
I ain't from [F] this place
And I do reserve the [C]
right to repeat all my same [F] mistakes
And in [Bb] the long I [G] certainly bide and choose
What I [C] can find, I never seem [Bb] to lose [F] the taste
[G] What a horrible [F] [Cm]
place [G] I feel [Cm] nearly
I [Eb] [Ab]
[Bb] repeat, [Eb] say,
[Ab] what you [Eb] have taught [F] me [Bb] I cannot [G]
erase
Though I keep [C] on saying and I do believe it is [Bb] not [Dm] too [F] late
[Am] All day [Eb]
[F] we try, [Cm]
[A]
[Am] [Eb]
[F] eyes cold and [Cm]
[Bb] [A] vindicating
[G]
If not [F] God, [Eb] no [F] God, [G] not no God
[A] Sweet [G] appraising eye of the dark, [F] blink [Eb] once if not [Bb] twice [G] if no God
All I am own [Cm] may be [G] ashamed [C] of me
[Cm] With all [Ab] of my [Bb] [Eb]
nervy
Open [Ab]
[Eb] [F] [Bb] it up till the early [G] morn
Lost [C] and luring among the magic [Bb] [F] revelry
Sure, [Bb] I [C] can pass, honey, I can [F] pass
Particularly [C] when I start to tip my [F] glass
[Dm] I'll be a smart
[Bb] one singing on the bass
About them [C] city girls with their ribbon bows and [Bb] their fancy [F] satch
But though I get [Bb] so sad, put sweat that [G]
makes a motion
To claim me round the second [C] verse
I reckon I felt worse [Bb] and still [F] am fast
But later on when I am [C] alone, [Bb] alone [F] at last
Well, I take my God [C] to task
I [Bb] take my daggone God to [F] task
The water
[C] runs so [F] sweet and clear
So sweet [Dm] and clear
I could [Bb]
crack [C] your bones [Bb] with [F] veins of gold
I stood a [C]
-wagging at [F] the tap
Just a [C]-waiting on the lagging [F] rising sap
I [Bb] held the cotton lad down to [G] my lip
