[Chorus]
G C G
Down by the waterfall
G C G
Where the waters run so cool
G C G
There no secrets ever fall
G C G
From the lips of the fool
[Verse 1]
G C G D
Jeniffer was seventeen the same age as I
G C D G
She had lived next door to us since we were five
G C G D
She knew I loved her dearly, I told her many times
G C D G
And I looked forward to the day that she would be all mine
[Verse 2]
G C G D
One more year of school we thought, then wedding bells would ring
G C D G
But the hand of fate has ways of changing everything
G C G D
I walked upon the two of them down by the waterfall
G C D G
Jeniffer and Jimmy Jones they saw me not at all
[Chorus]
G C G
Down by the waterfall
G C G
Where the waters run so cool
G C G
There no secrets ever fall
G C G
From the lips of the fool
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G C G D
Jimmy Jones was married and had a family
G C D G
And I just couldn’t understand why they did this to me
G C G D
They both were scared but all they thought I’d do was tell his wife
G C D G
Their faces turned to masks of fear before I took their life
[Verse 4]
G C G D
People thought that Jeniffer just up and ran away
G C D G
Jimmy Jones who disappeared is a mystery today
G C G D
Many years have passed but vividly I still recall
G C D G
And only I alone know what’s behind the waterfall
[Chorus]
G C G
Down by the waterfall
G C G
Where the waters run so cool
G C G
There no secrets ever fall
G C G
From the lips of the fool
[Outro]
G C G
From the lips of the fool
