When The Moon Moves The Waters Cifras

[Intro]
A    G (x6)
 
 
[Verse 1]
         C
When the sun is bright and warm you might perceive my form
                   A
and it'll make you shudder
           C
But you're likely to conclude that I'm a fool
                     A
and I'm as lazy as a river
        D
But the sun is setting soon
             C            G                A
and it'll be time for the moon to move the waters
    D
One look into my eyes
      C              G           A
and a wise man would lock up his daughters
         D
And I've seen into the hearts
           C            G                   A
of all the men in these parts, and they are yeller
      C N.C.                         G N.C.
And I swear by my beard that I'm the man that you all feared
          A       G
and I'm a killer

[Verse 2]
     C                                                     A
Some killings, never solved, did revolve around Mobile, Alabama
    C                                                            A
And others followed too, a trail that vipered through into Louisiana
    D                      C              G           A
But every single one was a lot of fun, as best as I remember
      D
I can see it in my dreams,
              C                      G               A
the ones that didn't scream were the first ones I dismembered
        D
But the instant of the kill
         C                  G         A
lost its thrill and I could no longer bother
           C N.C.                         G N.C.
And on the surface I am still, but I will kill
                        A       G
when the moon moves the waters

A                              G
  I've traveled all around the South with secrets in my mouth
A                              G
I come and I'll take away your lives, and rob you of your wives
A                                       G
  And I'll whisper secrets into her ear   until I let her go
A                                      G
  And watch her sink into the stinking   Gulf of Mexico

[Verse 3]
     C                                                           A
When I was very young, I spoke in tongues and I slept out in the rain
              C                                                          A
And though my family won't admit it, I was committed to a home for the insane
    D
Somewhere in time and space
             C              G          A
I'll have to face those who fell to my fury
   D
As you can clearly tell,
              C         G                  A
I'm bound for Hell, but that don't make me worried
       D                         C            G               A
'cause I'm from Arkansas, and my pa says that Hell ain't much hotter
C  N.C.                      G  N.C.                      A      G
Everything is fine until the next time the moon moves the waters
