[Intro]
Bm A Em G
Take a swim in the water
Bm A Em G
Take a swim in the water
Bm A Em G
Dear Arkansas daughter
Bm A Em G 3x
[Verse 1]
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
You with the dark curls, you with the watercolored eyes
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
You who bears all your teeth in every smile
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
Says I can always hear you sing, I wanna hear you speak to me
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
While a stranger braids my hair back out on the street
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
And in your dreams we are shooting at snakes
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
And while you were asleep, I was surely awake
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A Em G
I was talking out a cigarette
Bm A Em G
There's nothing left to say
Bm A Em G
But he should have been there anyway
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
For I didn't sing a single song, all day
[Chorus]
Bm A Em G
As my love for you dies
Bm A Em G
As my love for you dies
Bm A Em G
As my love for you is steadily dying
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
As sharp and serious as a pistol in the eye

My heart is full of swords

Your love, it knows the Lord
G Em
Tie my hands and I'm on my knees
Am C G G
As I kneel down, I kneel down in the sea
G Em
To the ocean floor, I will sink
Am C G G
Like a steel chest full of weapons
G Em
And all in spite of the tide, you will rise
Am C G G
Like a red, ripe, red, ripe apple
G Em
Take a swim in the dirty water
Am C G G
Dear Arkansas Daughter

Take a swim in the dirty water

Darling, child, true love of mine
