[Primera Parte]

Em
I'm telling you to explain
                 B7         Em
Cause now you're playing my game
             B7        Em
If you don't do what I say
                Am
I'm gonna throw you
       B7         Em
In the river, someday

[Segunda Parte]

Em
See me floating down the river
                B7        Em
That's where my body does lie
              B7       Em
It sure was a cold September
     C        D           Em   B7
With blood on everybody's mind

[Tercera Parte]

Em      B7          Em
 See my body on the shoreline
                B7              Em
My thoughts are spilling in the stream
        B7            Em
Picking strings all together
    C         D           Em    D
But everybody knows their scene

[Estribillo]

G                         C     D
 What did they put in the water
                          G
That we're drinking every night
                       Em
What did they do to the music man
          C        D                Em
When they tried to silence him that night

[Cuarta Parte]

Em
Can you see it in the stars now
               B7     Em
That you ain't acting right
                B7              Em
Your minds been poisoned by the weather
    C          D            Em
The people and all of those lies

[Quinta Parte]

B7                  Em
Don't listen to the wind blow
               B7         Em
Cause it ain't being very kind
           B7              Em
Follow the path of all the others
   C                   D         Em    D
So they can have their justice tonight

[Estribillo]

G                         C     D
 What did they put in the water
                          G
That we're drinking every night
                       Em
What did they do to the music man
          C        D                Em
When they tried to silence him that night

 What did they put in the water that night
      B7   F#m               B7
Cause he's lying here dead on cold ice
Em                       C
 It don't matter what he had to say
             D                      Em
Because they already cut him down today
                        C
