[Intro]
A A7 D F
A A7 D F
[Verse]
A
She grew up hidin' bruises
A7
Thinkin' it was love
D
Bourbon on his breath
F
Poison in his blood
A
A wolf in daddy's clothing
A7
He'd sneak into her room
F#m
While that small town was sleepin'
F
God she wished she was too
[Verse]
A
She got a little older
A7
But so did little sister
F#m
One night the ugly truth
F
Came out in a whisper
A
And that whisper was a trigger
A7
Only had to pull it once
D
They wrapped him in that bedroom rug
F
And threw him in the trunk
[Pre-Chorus]
A G
That angry sky was thunderin'
F#m G
As they drove him to the Cumberland
A G
Tied some river stone to him
D
And let the body drop
[Chorus]
N.C. A
There ain't enough rocks
G
To drown that pain
F#m
Ain't enough water
D
To sink that shame
A
He might've broke her heart
G
Couldn't break her soul
F#m
But dead ain't dead enough
D
Sometimes you know
A A7 D F
Ain't enough rocks
[Verse]
A
Sheriff knockin' on the front door
A7
Third day not clockin' in
D
Girls said he went on a bender
F
And they hadn't seen him since
[Pre-Chorus]
A G
Cops blamed it on his liver
F#m C
So they never drug the river
A G
Those girls don't even shiver
D
When they're fishin' off that dock
[Chorus]
A
There ain't enough rocks
G
To drown that pain
F#m
Ain't enough water
D
To sink that shame
A
He might've broke her heart
G
Couldn't break her soul
D
But dead ain't dead enough
Sometimes you know
A
Ain't enough rocks
[Instrumental/Solo]
A G D D
A G D D
A G D D
A G D D
A A7 D F
[Outro]
A
Some crimes don't deserve a jury
A7
Or a penitentiary
D
Or the possibility of parole
F
In a quarter century
A
Sometimes the only cure
A7
For a certain kind of problem
D
Is the right amount of limestone
F
To keep it at the bottom
