Tom: Em
| C | G D | G | G |
[Verse 1]
G G7 C
Alone and so lonesome, bored and so blue
G A7 D7
I got the urge to ramble, so I took a drink or two
G B7 C G
It tempted me to trifle, then my true heart went astray
C G D7 G
So I wandered in dark water and just threw my life away
[Verse 2]
D7 G
I know that it was wrong, to fool around this way so long
A A7 D7
Someone was sawing on the limb, that I was sittin' on
G B7 C G
I looked down and I found, I could drown in deep dark water
C G D G G
So I cried when I realized, I couldn't swim
[Verse 3]
G7 C
A fool and his money, calls for whiskey and for gin
G A7 D7
Filled to the gills and fallin' for the weaknesses of man
G B7 C G
From one fool to another, wrong is never right
C G D7 G
I ignored advice from mother and brother look, at me tonight
[Verse 4]
D7 G
Unsteady as I go, with deep dark water down below
A7 D7
They keep sawin' louder on my limb and soon I'll have to go
G B7 C G
Life's been small hear my call, as I fall in deep dark water
C G D G G
Don't be a would-be king and tumble, from your throne
