Troublesome Waters Chords by Johnny Cash

_ [Am] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Troublesome waters, [F]
much blacker than [C] night,
_ Are [A] hiding from view _ [F] the [G] harbor's bright lights.
_ [C] Tossed in the turmoil _ [Am]
of life's stormy [C] sea,
I cry [E] to my Savior, [Em] have [C] mercy on me.
[F] Then gently I'm feeling the touch [C] of His _ hand,
Guiding my [Am] boat, [F] and safely to [D] land.
_ [C] Leading the way [F] to [C] heaven's bright shore.
_ _ [E] Troublesome waters, [G] I'm fearing [C] no more.
_ [Am] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ Troublesome waters _ [F]
around [C] me do roll.
_ They're rocking [E] my boat _ [F] and wrecking [G] my soul. _
_ [A] Loved [C] ones are drifting _ [F] and living [C] in sin.
_ The [A] treacherous _ whirlpools [D] are pulling them [C] in. _
[F] Then gently I'm feeling the touch [C] of His _ hand,
Guiding [A] my [Am] boat, _ [F] and safely [G] to land.
_ Leading [C] the way _ [F] to [C] heaven's bright shore.
_ _ [A] Troublesome waters, [Em] I'm fearing [C] no more. _
_ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
When troublesome waters [F] are rolling [C] so high,
I'll lift [A] up my voice [F] and to heaven [G] I'll cry.
My Lord, [C] I am trusting, [F] give guidance [C] to me,
And steady [A] my boat _ [C] on life's troubled sea.
Then [F] gently I'm feeling the touch [C] of His hand,
_ Guiding [A] my [Am] boat, [F] and safely to [G] land.
_ [C] _ Leading the way [F] to [C] heaven's bright shore.
_ [Am] Troublesome [A] waters, [G] I'm [C] fearing no more.
_ _ [E] Troublesome waters, _ [G]
I'm [C] fearing no more.
