[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
