Brack And Brine

Intro: G 


[Verso 1]
 
       Em                                 G 
Well, take me down by the water while we wait 
        Em                            G 
'Cause I've seen every ail a man can make 
       Em                             G 
And I don't mind being here while it rains 
    Em                             G 
So somebody hold my guns while I break these chains 
 


[Refrão]
 
     Am                            C 
Mama,   don't hold your breath, no,    not this time 
                           N.C.                          G 
There's more to the water       than the brack and brine 
 


[Verso 2]
 
       Em                               G 
Well, take me across that river on our way 
         Em                                    G 
'Cause I lit the bridge on fire and we can't stay 
          Em                            G 
All that muddy water's rising high and fast 
       Em                         G 
And if we get in too deep, God I hope we last 
 


[Refrão]
 
     Am                            C 
Mama,   don't hold your breath, no,    not this time 
                           N.C.                          G 
There's more to the water       than the brack and brine

[Verso 3]
 
       Em                          G 
Let's keep that easy feeling as we go 
       Em                                G 
Honey, you lay down to sleep and I will row 
     Em                                G 
And come that misty morning, we'll be gone 
          Em                                  G 
And I'll wake you up when our keel hits that delta dawn 
 


[Refrão]
 
     Am                            C 
Mama,   don't hold your breath, no,    not this time 
                           N.C.                          G 
There's more to the water       than the brack and brine
