VERSE
Am C
It was down by the water
G D
where the angry rivers rise
Am C
I was found by the preacher's daughter
G D
Whose love I can't deny
Am
I was still so young
C
when I touched that gun
G D
For the first time and it felt so right
Am C
So I packed my bag and I said goodbye
G D
'Cause I knew I'd crossed that line
Pre-Chorus
Dm E
So as I turn out the light
Dm E
You'd better not close your eyes
Am G D F
I might rip your heart out honey
Am G D F
I might steal your money too
C E F D
Black water running through my soul
Dm (G)
I'll be the ruin of you
Am C G D
VERSE
Am C
I smiled like an angel
G D
I was a streetwise seventeen
Am C
She was old enough to know better
G D
When she took her chance with me
Pre-Chorus
Dm E
One respectable wife
Dm E
With a taste for the darker side
Am G D F
I might rip your heart out honey
Am G D F
I might steal your money too
C E F D
Black water running through my soul
Dm
I'll be the ruin of you
(Solo) Am C G D
Pre-Chorus
Dm E
So as I turn out the light
Dm E
You'd better not close your eyes
Am G D F
I might rip your heart out honey
Am G D F
I might steal your money too
C E F D
Black water running through my soul
Dm
I'll be the ruin of you
Am G D F
I might rip your heart out honey
Am G D F
I might steal your money too
C E F D
Black water running through my soul
Dm Am
I'll be the ruin of you
