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

PD  CHORUS
Dm                   E
So as I turn out the light
      Dm                    E
You'd better not close your eyes

CHORUS
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

PD  CHORUS
Dm              E
One respectable wife
Dm                          E
With a taste for the darker side

CHORUS
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

PD  CHORUS
Dm                   E
So as I turn out the light
      Dm                    E
You'd better not close your eyes

CHORUS
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
