C            F               C              GDown by this creekside is as far as I'll be goin'

[Chorus 1]

Am                          F           CNow I'm turnin' the waters red, here at Chickamauga

[Verse 2]

C            F               C              GYour tears fell and mingled with the pourin' down rain
C            F               C              GYou were my first kiss, my last kiss, then I hopped on that train

Am                    F        CLittle Sam and ol' Charlie Watson by my side
Am                    F        CCouldn't wait to be absorbed in all that glory
Am                    C        FWe were to young and we were to swift to die

[Verse 3]
C            F               C              GKept all your letters right next to my heart
C            F               C              GI read 'em every day and I could sing them in the dark
C            F               C              GBut your picture, my darlin', I lost a while back
C            F               C              GWith little Sam and Charlie boy at the liberty gap

[Chorus 3]
Am                    C        FOh the hit they took I just can't describe it
Am                    C        FI was the lucky one, I was fightin' right by their side
Am                    C        FAnd I took Chuck's boots, that's how he wanted it
Am                    F        CAnd I put 'em on and I walked away and I cried

[Verse 4]
C            F               C              GToday the sun is shinin', all I feel is your smile
C            F               C              GStrength that it gave me every inch and every mile
C            F               C              GClear blue water and clear blue sky
C            F               C              GFor a second, it was almost as pretty as your eyes

[Chorus 4]
Am                    C        FAnd the smoke came right after my ears filled with thunder
Am                    C        FI saw the tales of brave men took right under
Am                    C        FAnd I knew I'd never see you bootladys daughter
Am                    C        FAs the water swept away with my heart

[Verse 1]
C            F               C              GDown by this creekside is as far as I'll be goin'

C            F               C              GBut I swear I see you comin' my way in your boat

[Chorus 1]
Am                    C        FYou pick me up and we row down together
Am                    C        FYou pick me up and we row side by side
Am                    C        FNow I'm turnin' the waters red, here at Chickamauga
Am                    C        FAnd it's time that this young boy will die
