Cold Missouri Waters Chords by The Paul Mckenna Band

[F#] My name is Dodge _ _
But then you [D#m] know that
It's [F#] _
_ _ [B] written on the chart there [F#] at the foot end of the bed.
You think I'm blind _ _ I
_ Can't read it _ _
_ _ [B] I've read it every word [F#] and every word it says is death so _ [D#m] confession _
Is that the [B] reason that you [F#] came?
_ Get it [D#m] off my chest
_ _ For I [B] check out of the [C#] game
_ _ [D#m] Since you mentioned _ it.
_ Well, [B] there's 13 [F#] things.
I'll name
_ _ [G#m] 13 crosses [F#] high above the [C#] cold Missouri [B] water
_ _ _ August _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ 49 _ _ _
West Montana
_ the _
_ _ [B] hottest [F#] day on record
_ forest under dry _ _ lightning _ strikes _ _
_ In the mountains, _ _ _ _ I [B] was crew chief at the jump base.
[F#] I prepared the boys to fly
pick [D#m] a drop zone _ _ C
_ [B] 47 comes in [F#] low
_ Feel the [D#m] top _ _ _ _ on your [B] leg that tells you [C#] go
_ See [F#] the circle _
_ Of [B] the fire down [F#] below
_ _ [G#m] _ In of [F#] us dropped above [C#] _ cold [F#] Missouri [B] _ _ _ waters _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] Gauge the fire _ _ _ _
I'd seen _ beggar _ _
So why [G#m] are them to side help we [F#] fight from _ [C#] below?
have [F#] our _ backs _ _
to the river _
We _ _ [B] haven't looked by morning.
Even [A#m] if we took it [C#] slow
But [D#m] the fire _ _
Jump _ _ _ [B] valley just [F#] ahead.
_ There [D#m] was no way down
_ _ headed [B] for the bench [C#] instead
Too [D#m] big to fight it
_ _ _ [B] Have to fight that smoke [F#] _ instead
_ _ [G#m] James one step [F#] behind above [C#] _ cold [B] Missouri _ waters _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] Sky _ [D#m] hot on the red _ _
[A#m] Smoke was boiling _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [B] 200 yards to safety [F#] death was 50 yards behind.
[C#]
I [F#] don't know why _ _ _ I
[D#m] Just thought it _ _
_ _ _ [B] Struck match to waste high [F#] grass running out [C#] of time
[B] Try to [D#m] tell them _
_ Step [B] into the fire.
I [F#] said we [D#m] can't make it
_ _ Says [B] the only chance you [C#] get
_ [F#] But they pushed me
_ Run for the [B] rocks above [F#] instead.
_ I [G#m] lay face down [F#] and prayed above
_ [C#] cold [F#m] Missouri [B] _ water
_ _ When
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ I rose _ _
like [D#m] the Phoenix
And [F#] _
_ not world reduced to ashes
_ There were none but to survive I stayed at night _ _ _
and one day after _ _
_ _ [B] Carry bodies to the river _ [F#] wondered how I stayed alive _ thirteen stations _ _
_ _ Of the [B] cross to mark [F#] and therefore _ _ [D#m] I've had my say
_ _ I'll [B] confess to nothing [C#] _ more
I'm [F#] join them now
_ _ _ Because they [B] left me [F#] long before
_ [B] _ _ Nothing crosses [F#] high above _ [C#] cold [F#m] Missouri [B] _ _ _ waters _ _
_ [G#m] _ Nothing [F#] crosses high above [C#] the cold [F#m] Missouri [B] shore
