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.
