[Intro]
F F F F


[Verse 1]
Dm  C   F
Oh, oh deep water
Dm       C    F
Black and cold like the night
 Bb          C     F       Bb
I stand with arms wide open, I've run a twisted line
   Bb       C      F
I'm a stranger in the eyes of the Maker


[Verse 2]
 Dm          C     F
I could not see for the fog in my eyes
 Dm           C     F
I could not feel for the fear in my life
     Bb        C      F        Bb
And from across the great divide, in the distance I saw a light
    Bb      C       F
Jean Baptiste walking to me with the Maker


[Verse 3]
  Dm   C    F
My body is bent and broken
  Dm    C     F
By long and dangerous sleep
    Bb         C      F      Bb
I can't work the fields of Abraham, and turn my head away
     Bb       C      F
I'm not a stranger in the hands of the Maker


[Verse 4]
    Dm       C         F
Brother John, have you seen the homeless daughters
Dm         C   F
Standing there with broken wings
    Bb        C    F         Bb
I have seen the flaming swords, there over east of Eden
Bb       C      F
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Bb       C      F
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Bb       C      F
Burning in the eyes of the Maker


[Outro]
F
Oh, river rise from your sleep
