Bm D There is whisky in the water A E And there is death upon the vine Bm D There is fear in the eyes of your father A Bm And there is "Yours" and there is "Mine" There is a desert veiled in pavement And there's a city of seven hills All our debris flows to the ocean To meet again, I hope it will Chorus: G6 D A How could something so fair Bm Be so cruel G6 D A When this black sun revolved Bm Around you! There is an answer in a question And there is hope within despair And there is beauty in a failure And there are depths beyond compare There is a role of a lifetime And there's a song yet to be sung And there's a dumpster in the driveway Of all the plans that came undone Chorus - x2 There is whiskey in the water And there is death upon the vine And there is grace within forgiveness But it's so hard for me to find Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  E  G6  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
