Tom: E E All night long I've been riding riding, I B should have been there by now, but these F#m old county roads got a lot of deep holes and the A E rain keeps pouring down E the bridge is washed out and the rising rising B waters of the river rush by and I'm F#m up to my fenders in mud and to my witness above A E I'm really stuck this time [Chorus] I've got a A gold heart locket on a silver chain E clinched tight in my fist in the pouring rain and the B only road back home again is F#m all but washed away A I'm going to cross that river tonight no E matter what it takes although I might die B F#m trying my true love will remain in a A B E gold heart locket on a silver chain [Verse] E open it up and she's lovely lovely B eyes of hazel green, but I F#m close it up fast because the rain gets past and lays a A E tear down on her cheek E I promised her once that I would never ever B break her heart again, so F#m Lord take me there, in a silent prayer, with her A E locket in my hand [Bridge] F#m the last thing I remember I was A E fearing for my life. She was F#m calling out my name from over A E on the other side. F#m I reached out to hold her but the A E break was just too strong. Now the B silence just gets colder as the F#m E river rages on [Verse] E All night long I've been riding riding, I B should have been there by now, but these F#m old county roads got a lot of deep holes and the A E rain keeps pouring down E the bridge is washed out and the rising rising B waters of the river rush by and I'm F#m up to my fenders in mud and to my witness above A E I'm really stuck this time [Chorus] I've got a A gold heart locket on a silver chain E clinched tight in my fist in the pouring rain and the B only road back home again is F#m all but washed away A I'm going to cross that river tonight no E matter what it takes although I might die B F#m trying my true love will remain in a A B E gold heart locket on a silver chain
