Gold Heart Locket

E
All night long I've been riding riding, I
                          B
should have been there by now, but these
F#m
old county roads got a lot of deep holes and the
A                  E
rain keeps pouring down
E
the bridge is washed out and the rising rising
                         B
waters of the river rush by and I'm
F#m
up to my fenders in mud and to my witness above
A                     E
I'm really stuck this time

I've got a
A
gold heart locket on a silver chain
E
clinched tight in my fist in the pouring rain and the
B
only road back home again is
F#m
all but washed away
A
I'm going to cross that river tonight no
E
matter what it takes although I might die
B                        F#m
trying my true love will remain in a
A                      B      E
gold heart locket on a silver chain

E
open it up and she's lovely lovely
              B
eyes of hazel green, but I
F#m
close it up fast because the rain gets past and lays a
A                E
tear down on her cheek
E
I promised her once that I would never ever
                B
break her heart again, so
F#m
Lord take me there, in a silent prayer, with her
A            E
locket in my hand

F#m
the last thing I remember I was
A              E
fearing for my life. She was
F#m
calling out my name from over
A            E
on the other side.
F#m
I reached out to hold her but the
A                  E
break was just too strong. Now the
B
silence just gets colder as the
F#m         E
river rages on
