Kathy Mattea - Standing Knee Deep in a River (Dying of Thirst)
Intro - C - Em - F - G - C - Em - F - G
(verse 1)
C Em F C
Friends I could count on I could count on one hand,
F G F - G
with a leftover finger or two,
C Em F C
I took 'em for granted, let 'em all slip away,
F G C F
Now where they are I wish I knew,
G C Em F C
They roll by, just like water
F G C F - G
and I guess we never learn
C Em F
Go through life, parched and empty
C F G
standin' knee deep in a river
C Em - F - G
and dyin' of thirst
(verse 2)
C Em F C
Sometimes I remember, sweethearts I've known,
F G F - G
Some I've forgotten I suppose,
C Em F C
One or two still linger, oh and I wonder now,
F G C F
why I ever let them go,
G C Em F C
They roll by, just like water,
F G C F - G
and I guess we never learn,
C Em F
Go through life, parched and empty,
C F G
standin' knee deep in a river,
C Em - F - G - C - Em - F
and dyin' of thirst,
-----------> up 1/2 step<--------------
(verse 3)
C# Fm F# C#
So the sidewalk is crowded, the city goes by,
F# G# - F# - G#
and I rush through another day,
C# Fm F# C#
and a world full of strangers, turn their eyes to me,
F# G# C# F#
but I just look the other way,
(chorus)
G# C# Fm F# C#
They roll by just like water,
F# G# C# F# - G#
and I guess we never learn,
C# Fm F#
Go through life, parched and empty,
C# F#
standin' knee deep in a river,
G# C# F#
and dyin' of thirst,
G# C# Fm F# C#
They roll by just like water,
F# G# C# F# - G#
and I guess we never learn,
C# Fm F#
Go through life, parched and empty,
C# F#
standin' knee deep in a river,
G# C# Fm F# G# C#
and dyin' of thirst,
