Heath Sanders – Where The Water Runs Still chords

[Verse 1]
E                                       D                         Half a mile along come an old dirt road to a little branch off of buffalo
          A                                                   EThere’s a line of pines and a time that is long dead and gone

wrinkled hands on a old zip coat
Ddead man cap and a heart of gold
A                                 I grew up where the roots run deep
                       E  and the creek runs slow

D A    E

Granddaddy never said to much
Dwhen he did you dam sure listened up
            A                                                      EI learned a lot about life and love, and how to hold a fishing pole
G                   A           Eremembering like it was like yesterday 
         G                     A                            Bhe would look at his creek and then he would turn to me and say......


[Chorus]
        E                    DHe said boy this life’s is a raging river
     Aan’t like it is sitting right here
        E             D               Ayou get in to deep to fast and way to long
         E              Dwhen you reach you run, and you had enough,
        Aand you finally get your fill
Gstorm on backwater
A              Ewhen the water runs still
D A     E


[Verse 2]
                                    Ehe said son I waded in when I was 18
        Dyea the sawcuts of town were to small for me
                A                                      Ethought there’s more to life and sweating at a sawmill dream

                                           DI realized that the river ran red - of the blood of the those that gave it all they had
A                                                 Echasing that something that just wouldn’t even be
    G            A                   Eoh, this ant the first time its been said
    G                A                   BI’m telling you just like my daddy did....


[Chorus]
        E                    DHe said boy this life’s is a raging river
     Aan’t like it is sitting right here
        E             D               Ayou get in to deep to fast and way to long
         E              Dwhen you reach you run, and you had enough,
        Aand you finally get your fill
Gstorm on backwater
A              Ewhen the water runs still
D A     E


[Verse 3]
Ehow could I have known
DI had to find out on my own
D            A                 Ewhat my granddaddy was talking about
Dit’s time to find my way back home
Agrab his old fishing pole
G        A                  Bplant my feet on holy ground...


[Chorus 2]
    E                    Dyea boy this life’s is a raging river
Aant like it is sitting right here
        E             D                 Ayou get in to deep to fast and way to long
         E                     D                    Awhen you reach you run, and you had enough, and you finally get your fill

G                  A                    Ecome on back boy - where the water runs still


[Verse 4]
            Dthere ant a single bone sad and heavy
               Athat old creak bank won’t forgive
             D                  A                  Ethere a’nt a soul born north of hell that it won’t heal...
        D           A                    Eso come on back boy where the water runs still
     D           A                    E         D A   Ecome on back boy where the water runs still.
