Troublesome Waters chords by The Carter Family

C                       F
Troublesom waters much darker than night
                 Am                       G
Are hiding from view the harbors bright light
C                       F           C
lost in the turmoil of lifes stormy sea
             Am            G       C
I cry to my savior, "Have mercy on me."

chorus:
      F                                   C
then gently I'm feeling the touch of his hand
            Am                 G
guiding my boat in safely to land
C                   F              C
leading the way to heavens bright shore
                   Am                    C
where troublesome waters I'm fearing no more.

Troublesome waters around me do roll
they're rocking my boat and wrecking my soul
loved ones are drifting and living in sin
life's treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in.

chorus

when troublesome water and rolling so high
I lift up my vioce and to heaven I cry,
"Lord, I am trusting, give guidance to me
and steady my boat on lifes troubled sea."

chorus
