**Chords:**
C G Am F
C G F C
C G
Cold Missouri waters,
Am F
Ain't like the waters of home.
C G
The river flows so deep,
F C
But it can make a man feel so alone.
C G
The sun sets on the river,
Am F
And the shadows start to grow.
C G
A fire burns in the distance,
F C
But it can't warm my heart, you know.
C G
Cold Missouri waters,
Am F
Flowing down to the sea.
C G
Take me back to my homeland,
F C
Where my heart will always be.
C G
So I'll sing my song of sorrow,
Am F
And let my tears flow free.
C G
For the cold Missouri waters,
F C
Will always be a part of me.
