Verse 1
Lord, (D major)
how long I've been ridin', ridin'
I should've been there by (E minor) now
These old county roads
(D major) got a (E minor) lot of deep holes
And the rain keeps (G major) pourin' down (D major)
The bridge is washed out
and the rising, rising waters
of the river rush (A major) by
I'm (E minor) up to my fenders and mud
and to my witness above
I'm (G major) really stuck this (D major) time
Got a (G major) gold -hot locket on
a silver chain
(D major) clenched tight in my fist
The pouring rain
and the only road (A major) back home again
is all (E minor) but washed away
Well, (G major) I'm gonna cross that river tonight,
no mat (D major) ter what it takes
Though I might die trying, (E minor)
(A major) my (E minor) true love will remain
In a (D major) gold -hot locket on a (E minor) sil
(D major) ver (G major) chain (D major) (A major) (E minor) (G major) (D major)
Open it up and she's lovely, lovely,
eyes of hazel green (E minor)
(A major) But (E minor) I close it up fast
cause the rain gets past
and lays a (G major) tear down her cheek (D major)
I promised her once
that I'd never ever break her heart again
(E minor) So (A major) Lord (E minor) take me there
with a silent prayer
an (G major) d a locket in my hand (D major)
The (E minor) last thing I remember
I (G major) was fearing for (D major) my life
She was (E minor) calling out my name
from over on (G major) the other (D major) side
I (E minor) reached out to hold her
but the break (G major) was just too strong (D major)
And the (A major) silence just get (D major) s colder
as the river rages on (A major) (E minor)
All (D major) night long I've been riding, riding
Should have been there by (E minor) now
(A major) These (E minor) old county roads
(D major) got a (E minor) lot of depots
And the rain (G major) keeps pouring (A major) down (D major)
The bridges washed out
and the rising, rising waters
of the river rushed (E minor) by
And I'm up to my fenders in mud
and to my witness above,
I'm really stuck (G major) this (D major) time
I got a (G major) gold hard locket on
a silver chain,
clinched (D major) tight in my fist
The pouring rain
and the (A major) only road (E minor) back (A major) (E minor) home (A major) again
(E minor) is all but washed away
(G major) I'm gonna cross that river tonight,
(D major) no matter what it takes
Although I might die try (E minor) ing, (A major)
my true love (E minor) will remain
In a gold (G major) heart locket (D major) (G major) on a (D major) (G major) sil
(D major) ver (G major) chain (D major) (A major) (E minor) (G major) (D major)
I'll see next time. (A major) (E minor)
