Song lyrics:
“Shallow Waters” by Just Jinger
Tabbed By Chris Fritz([email protected])
Just Jinger is a South African (who I THINK made their first album in 1997) band
most of you probably haven't heard of unless your South African, but they're
cool, trust me. You can check them out at their official web page:

This is an awesome song by an awesome band!
I’d just like to thank my good friend, Olivia (a South African), for introducing
me to them! Hope all you guys have lots of fun with this!

And then this is what is actually being sung while this is going on...
C Am G Dm
I'm leaving, tomorrow, and I don't know, why.
C Am
There's something that's not right with my soul,
G Dm
I have no goal, I have no goal.
NEXT BIT:
For this part it’s fine if you just strum the basic chords, but if you
really want to do it like in the song, then here’s what they do...
*NOTE* Keep in mind that this is not the actual strumming pattern. For that,
just listen to the song.

And once again, this is what is being sung while you’re playing this...
C
I'm leaving in shallow waters,
Am
I'm leaving all my dreams of you.
G Dm
I can't go on. I want to run away.
NEXT BIT:
Ok, I think with the rest of this, you should be able to just figure it out by
yourself, using the chords in the previous parts. Listen to the song, it sounds
like their just playing what feels right from the chords I’ve already given you.
And you don’t have to play EXACTLY what is being played on the CD, it’ll still
sound like the same song!
C Am
I think I'll go today, tomorrow
G Dm
Well, it won't help me at all. It won't help me at all.
C Am
There's something that I told you and you don't know,
G Dm
That it's true, oh, that it's true now.
C
I'm leaving in shallow waters,
Am
I'm leaving all my dreams of you.
G Dm
I can't go on. I want to run away.
Am G Dm
Ahhh oohhhhh ahhhhh
Am G Dm
Ahhh oohhhhh ahhhhh
C
I'm leaving in shallow waters,
Am
All my dreams of you.
G Dm
I can't go on. I want to run away, run away.
C Am
I think I'll go today, coz you know tomorrow,
G Dm
It won't help me at all, it won't help me at all.
C Am
Shallow waters, all my dreams of you
G Dm C
And I can't go on, I'm leaving in shallow water.
