lyrics

Cold White Water (F)
John Holkeboer

Intro: Fiddle solo over Verse chords:

V1:

F / F / F / C /
Leaves, Greens, Rocks & Trees - Cold white water runs wild
Bb / F / D- / Db /
She appears upon the waves - and speaks just like a child
Bb- / F / F /
speaks just like a child

Why'd you take my heart away - and chase those dreams of gold
leaving me without a sound - this world is growing cold
this world it grows so cold

Chorus:
Eb / Bb / F / F /
And I don't want to stay here - And I'll never grow old
Eb / Bb / F / F /
And I don't want to die here - in this land so cold

Repeat Intro

V2:
Sweet dreams of frankincense - fragrant oils and myrrh
Call to mind my younger days - and all the things we were
all the things we were

Fondly I do take my leave - I'll try to keep in touch
strangely I think we both believe - these words they don't mean much
my words they don't mean much

Chorus 2:

And I don't want to stay here - and I'll never grow old
And I don't want to die here - in this land so cold
And I promised to send for you - and one day I'd return
That day I'd stand by you - and we'd watch the world turn

Repeat Intro

She appears upon the waves
and speaks just like a child
speaks just like a child
