Chords

[Intro] | 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
