Sad Waters

D Dsus4 D A


[Verse 1]

D  A                                   Bm   G
   Down the road I look and there runs Mary
D  A           F#m                      A
   Hair of gold   and lips like cherries
D                       A                         Bm  G
   We go down to the ri-ver where the willows weep
D         G                F#m    A
   Take a naked root for a lovers seat
D            A                     Bm  G
   That rose out of the bitten soil
D      G                      F#m          A
   But bound to the ground by creeping ivy coils
D         A                   Bm   G
   O Mary you have seduced my soul
D            G          F#m  A       (D)
   Forever a hostage of your child's world

[Verse 2]

D      A                    Bm            G
   And then I ran my tin-cup  heart along
D      G             F#m  A
   The prison of her ribs
    D                       A
And then with a toss of her curls
                      Bm        G
That little girl goes wading in
D             G                 A
   Rollin her dress up past her knee
D          A               Bm      G
   Turning these waters in-to wine
D           G               F#m   A   (D)
   Then she plaited all the wil - low vines

D       A               Bm       G
   Mary in the shallows laughing
D       G         F#m  A
   Over where the carp dart
D                     G                Bm   G
   Spooked by the new shadows that she cast
D         G                      F#m   A  (D)
   Across these sad waters and a-cross my heart
