Throwin Rocks

E             B                  
She wasn?t bad. She wasn?t good. 
     A                         E
She was just what she was.
E              B                 
She had a thing makes a man, do 
A              E
the things he does.
E             B               
She had a way. A special way, to 
    A                  E
speak without a word.
E             B                   
I swear to you, this very day, 
A                    E
that this is how it all occurred.

[Chorus]
        A                          
We was: Throwin rocks in the river,
  E    A                        E
 counting ties on the track
A                          E     
Thinking life could not be better
     B
 and living in a shack.
A                      E         
Feeling love for one another, 
     G                       A
deep down in our bones.
A                E     B        
Standing by the water, throwing 
                       E
rocks n skipping stones.

[Verse 2]
E             B                  
I was raised, in New Orleans. She
   A                          E
 was born in Jacksonville.
E                 B              
And for a time, to me it seemed ,
        A                          
 she made the world stand still.
   E


[Chorus]
 A                       E     A 
Throwin rocks in the river, 
                      E
counting ties on the track
A                          E     
Thinking life could not be better
     B
 and living in a shack.
A                      E         
Feeling love for one another, 
     G                       A
deep down in our bones.
A                E     B        
Standing by the water, throwing 
                       E
rocks n skipping stones.

[Verse 3]
E                      B         
I came home late and I caught 
          A                   E
her, with a man from out of town.
E           B                 A 
Now I wait beside the water for 
                       E
the flood to take me down.

[Chorus]
 A                       E     A 
Throwin rocks in the river, 
                      E
counting ties on the track
A                        E  
Pouring gas on her letters and 
      B
setting fire to the shack.
A                      E     G  
Screaming bloody murder, leaving
                           A
 nothing but the bones.
A                E     B        
Standing by the water, throwing 
                       E
rocks n skipping stones.
