G C G C G C G C G C D Am C G Dm Am C G [Verse 1] Dm F Well I was shacked up down in Mobile G Dm G Dm With a girl from New York City. Am G She woke me up one night to tell me Dm C Dm That we weren't alone. F C She said she saw the ghost Dm F Dm Of a woman staring at me. F C I told her not to worry, Am Dm F Dm But in the morning when I woke up, she was gone. F G So I headed on to Florida where Dm F Dm I tangled with some sailors. F And as I lay bloody on the wharf, G Dm G Dm I cursed the ship they sailed on. Am F C Wouldn't you know, twenty four hours later Am Dm Am Dm Am That ship sank into the ocean F C Am Disappearing like an unwanted memory Dm F Dm Beneath the waves. [Chorus 1] G Am A Am I guess it's 'cause, still waters run, G D Am Run deep in me D Am G 'Cause I got this crazy way N.C. A D C D C Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters. (Still waters) [Verse 2] Dm F And I was woke up just before dawn G Dm G Dm By an old man crying in the rain. D F He was drunk and he was lonely G Dm G Dm G And as he passed by he sang a hymn. F C And as I lay there listening, Am Fm Dm D Dm G Well I almost joined him in that song F C But instead I just held my peace, Am Dm G Dm G And waited 'till that old man moved along. F Then later on that day about G Dm D Dm A quarter mile out of town, D F I found his body hanging in G Dm G Dm G A grove of pines, swaying in the wind. Am F C Am And as he swang that rope sang another hymn Dm G Dm G To Jesus, F C And this time though I don't know why, Am Dm Am Dm I somehow felt inclined to sing along. [Chorus 2] G Am C Am I guess it's cause, still waters run, G Am C Run deep in me Am G 'Cause I got this crazy way N.C. Dm C G Dm C G D crazy way I'm swimming in still waters. Still waters [Verse 3] D Don't you know there's projects for the dead G Dm F Dm And there are projects for the living F Thought I must confess sometimes G Dm I get confused by that distinction F C And I just throw myself into the arms A Dm Of that which would betray me. F C Am I guess to see how far Providence Dm G Dm Will stoop down just to save me. [Chorus 3] Am C D Am And it's all because, still waters run, G D Run deep in me A Am G 'Cause I've got this crazy way N.C D Am C Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters... A Dm C G D C Dm G Dm C G C G C swimming in still waters... stil waters.
