F
If the river was whiskey and I was a duck,
                                F7
I'd dive to the bottom and I'd never come up.
             Bb                       F
Well tell me how long, have I got to wait?
        C7                        F
Oh, can I get you now? Must I hesitate?


The first two lines of every verse vary, but the chord progression and the last 
two lines stay the same throughout.
