The Waters So Cold Acordes

	  Writer: Harlan Howard 
 
E The crest of the waves, break A over my E head 
My strength's about A gone and soon I'll be E dead 
I'd rather be dead, out here in the A sea 
Than to love a E woman, who'll A never love E me. 

Oh! The Water's So A Cold (The Water's So Cold) 
Out here in the E dark (out here in the dark) 
The Water's So A Cold (The Water's So Cold) 
((As cold as your B7 heart)) 
The lights from the E shore (the lights from the shore) 
Are fast growing A dim (are fast growing dim) 
((The Water's So E Cold, I can't A hardly E swim.))
 
 
I offered my ring, I offered my name 
She said, "You're a child!", she put me to shame 
if she saw me now, she'd have to agree 
Most men couldn't swim, this far out to sea.
