[Chorus]
F                  C                  G7                          C
Sittin' on a rock, cryin' in a creek, watchin' all my tears flow away,
           F                      C                      G7                     C
Well I can drown my tears in that muddy' ol' water but I can't run your memory away


[Verse 1]
C                               F                  C                   G7
There hadn't been a day since I don't know when my mind hadn't been on you
    C                      F                 G7                    C
And each little hurt keeps gettin' bigger in spite of everything I do
     C                    F                        C                      G7
Your old love letters are sittin' on a stump, your picture hangin' from a tree
C                       F                            G7                     C
Every little thing that reminds me of you, well I've got it right here with me


[Chorus]
F                  C                  G7                          C
Sittin' on a rock, cryin' in a creek, watchin' all my tears flow away,
           F                      C                      G7                     C
Well I can drown my tears in that muddy' ol' water but I can't run your memory away

[Verse 2]
C                                    F               C                  G7
Well I wish I'd have the troubles of that old fish I just seen swimmin' by
            C                    F                     G7                    C
well he can shed enough tears to flood a river and you couldn't even tell he cried
C                   F                    C                   G7
And every time your name is mentioned my eyes get blurry and red
C                          F                             G7                    C
And it ain't long till I'm hidin' from the world and I'm right back where I've been


[Chorus]
F                  C                  G7                          C
Sittin' on a rock, cryin' in a creek, watchin' all my tears flow away,
           F                      C                      G7                     C
Well I can drown my tears in that muddy' ol' water but I can't run your memory away
