Drifting Too Far From Shore

Bill Monroe

 

G                D             G                D                      G

Out on the perilous deep, where danger silently creeps

         G                           C   Am             G               D            G

And storms so violently sweep, you're drifting too far from shore

 

<CHORUS>

          C                                G

Drifting too far from shore

             D                              G

You’re drifting too far from shore

G                                             G7                 C   Am

Come to Jesus today; let him show you the way

             G                D            G

You’re drifting too far from shore

 

G                D                 G              D                                  G

Today the tempest rolls high, and clouds overshadow the sky

         G                       C   Am            G               D            G

Sure death is hovering nigh, you’re drifting too far from shore

 

<CHORUS>

 

G                  D          G        D                            G

Why meet a terrible fate? Mercies abundantly wait

         G                            C  Am           G                D            G

Turn back before it’s too late. You’re drifting too far from shore

 

<CHORUS>
