[Intro]
 Fchord strummed
ODmh, oh Cdeep Fwater, Dmblack and cold Clike the Fnight 
BbI stand with arms wide oCpen, 
I've Frun a twisted lBbine 
I'm a stranger in the eCyes of the MaFker 
I Dmcould not see for the Cfog in my eFyes 
I Dmcould not feel for the Cfear in my lFife
BbAnd from across the great divideC, In the disFtance I saw a lBbight 
Jean Baptiste's walking Cto me with the MaFker 
My bDmody is beCnt and Fbroken by long Dmand dangCerous slFeep 
I can't work Bbthe fields of AbCraham and turn Fmy head away Bb  
I'm not a stranger in the Chands of the MaFker 
Brother DmJohn, have you Cseen the homeless Fdaughters
SDmtanding there with Cbroken wiFngs
I have Bbseen the flaming swCords
tFhere over east of eBbden 
BuBbrning in the Ceyes of the MaFker 
Burning in the eyes of the Maker 
Burning in the eyes of the Maker... 
Oh, river rise from your sleep...

Dm C F Dm C F

Oh, oh deep water, black and cold like the night

Bb C

I stand with arms wide open,

I've run a twisted line

I'm a stranger in the eyes of the Maker

Dm C F

I could not see for the fog in my eyes

Dm C F

I could not feel for the fear in my life

Bb C F Bb

And from across the great divide, In the distance I saw a light

C F

Jean Baptiste's walking to me with the Maker

Dm C F Dm C F

My body is bent and broken by long and dangerous sleep

Standing there with broken wings

Oh, river rise from your sleep...
