[Verse 1]
Dm                            F
Well I was shacked up down in Mobile
      G                  Dm    G  Dm
With a girl from New York City.
Am                                 G
She woke me up one night to tell me
                Dm    C  Dm
That we weren't alone.
  F                    C
She said she saw the ghost
                      Dm  F  Dm
Of a woman staring at me.
  F                C
I told her not to worry,
Am                                
But in the morning when I woke up,
           Dm  F  Dm
 she was gone.
         F             G
So I headed on to Florida where
                     Dm    F  Dm
I tangled with some sailors.
                 F
And as I lay bloody on the wharf,
     G                       Dm  
I cursed the ship they sailed on.
G  Dm


Am             F                 
Wouldn't you know, twenty four 
        C
hours later
                 Am         Dm  Am
That ship sank into the ocean
 Dm Am

F            C                   
Disappearing like an unwanted 
   Am
memory
                Dm  F Dm
Beneath the waves.


[Chorus 1]
    G           Am         A     
I guess it's 'cause, still waters
   Am
 run,
Continúa después del anuncio
   G     D  Am
Run deep in me
        D    Am           G
'Cause I got this crazy way
N.C.                               A
   D  C  D C
Crazy way I'm swimming in still 
waters.       (Still waters)

[Verse 2]
         Dm                 F
And I was woke up just before dawn
        G                 Dm     
By an old man crying in the rain.
G  Dm

D                        F
He was drunk and he was lonely
G                                
And as he passed by he sang a 
Dm  G  Dm  G
hymn.
F                      C
And as I lay there listening,
Am                    Fm      
Well I almost joined him in that 
    Dm  D  Dm  G
song
F                     C
But instead I just held my peace,
Am                                
And waited 'till that old man 
   Dm  G  Dm  G
moved along.
                    F
Then later on that day about
G                     Dm   D  Dm
A quarter mile out of town,
D                          F
I found his body hanging in
           G              Dm   
A grove of pines, swaying in the 
       G  Dm  G
wind.
Am             F            
And as he swang that rope sang 
C          Am
another hymn
  Dm     G  Dm  G
To Jesus,
F                  C
And this time though I don't know 
why,
           Am                  
I somehow felt inclined to sing 
      Dm  Am Dm
along.

[Chorus 2]
G                 Am    C  Am
I guess it's cause, still waters 
run,
  G  Am       C
Run deep in me
           Am            G
'Cause I got this crazy way
N.C.                                
Dm  C  G  Dm       C  G  D
crazy way I'm swimming in still 
waters.      Still waters

[Verse 3]
D
Don't you know there's projects for 
the dead
     G                        
And there are projects for the 
Dm     F  Dm
living
                            F
Thought I must confess sometimes
          G                      Dm
I get confused by that distinction
             F                  
And I just throw myself into the 
     C
arms
          A             Dm
Of that which would betray me.
  F                 C   Am
I guess to see how far Providence
         Dm                     G  
Will stoop down just to save me.
Dm


[Chorus 3]
          Am             C    D  
And it's all because, still 
   Am
waters run,
    G      D
Run deep in me
                A          Am  G
'Cause I've got this crazy way
N.C                         D       
 Am  C
Crazy way I'm swimming in still 
waters...
   A         Dm          C  G  
  swimming in still waters...  
D          C  Dm  G  Dm  C  G C G C
 stil waters.
