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,

(chorus)

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,

(chorus)

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,
