Misc Originals – Chauncey Jones - Whiskey To Water (Guitar)

           A                      C#m
I was lost in the night, shadows closed in tight,

      D                               E
Chasin’ every ghost, in the pale moonlight 

              A                 D
With a bottle in my hand, I’d whisper my prayers,

E                                                   E
But the answers never came, just the weight of despair 

              A                        C#m
You turned my whiskey to water, every drop to grace,

         D                                  E 
Washed away the darkness, I could finally see Your face 

            A                       D 
In the still of the night, You held me close and said,

                E                               E 
“I’ll turn your whiskey to water, and bring you back from the dead ”

         A                             C#m
I was runnin’ from the truth, couldn’t face what I’d see,

         D                                E 
Lost in a storm, and the bottle held the key 

        A                            D 
But You reached down so gentle, pulled me from the flood,

     E                               E 
And filled my weary heart with Your mercy and love 

              A                      C#m
You turned my whiskey to water, every drop to grace,

          D                           E 
Washed away the darkness, I could finally see Your face 

          A                          D 
In the still of the night, You held me close and said,

                E                           E 
“I’ll turn your whiskey to water, and bring you back from the dead ”

       F#m                     C#m
Now I drink from a well that’ll never run dry,

        D                           E 
No more drownin’ in sorrow, no more livin’ a lie 

       F#m                   C#m
You showed me the way with Your tender hand,

       D                             E 
And now I walk in the light of Your promised land 

         A                                C#m
You turned my whiskey to water, every drop to grace,

           D                         E 
Washed away the darkness, I could finally see Your face 

            A                       D 
In the still of the night, You held me close and said,

           E                                 E 
“I’ll turn your whiskey to water, and bring you back from the dead ”

           A                      C#m 
Now every step I take, You’re here by my side,

            D                     E 
Turned my whiskey to water, gave me new life inside 

          A                                       C#m
Oh, You turned my whiskey to water, and my soul to light,

       D                           E 
Now I’m walkin’ with You, in the peace of the night
