[Chorus]
G           C    G
Down by the waterfall
G         C             G
Where the waters run so cool
G                C    G
There no secrets ever fall
G        C           G
From the lips of the fool

[Verse 1]
G            C             G           D
Jeniffer was seventeen the same age as I
G                  C          D             G
She had lived next door to us since we were five
G                C             G             D
She knew I loved her dearly, I told her many times
    G                C               D                G
And I looked forward to the day that she would be all mine

[Verse 2]
G             C                          G                   D
One more year of school we thought, then wedding bells would ring
G               C                D             G
But the hand of fate has ways of changing everything
G                     C            G           D
I walked upon the two of them down by the waterfall
G            C                D             G
Jeniffer and Jimmy Jones they saw me not at all

[Chorus]
G           C    G
Down by the waterfall
G         C             G
Where the waters run so cool
G                C    G
There no secrets ever fall
G        C       G
From the lips of the fool

[Verse 3]
G               C           G         D
Jimmy Jones was married and had a family
    G                 C        D                 G
And I just couldn’t understand why they did this to me
     G                    C                    G               D
They both were scared but all they thought I’d do was tell his wife
G                     C             D                   G
Their faces turned to masks of fear before I took their life

[Verse 4]
G              C                  G           D
People thought that Jeniffer just up and ran away
G               C                D         G
Jimmy Jones who disappeared is a mystery today
G          C                    G            D
Many years have passed but vividly I still recall
G           C                  D             G
And only I alone know what’s behind the waterfall

[Chorus]
G           C    G
Down by the waterfall
G         C             G
Where the waters run so cool
G                C    G
There no secrets ever fall
G        C    G
From the lips of the fool

[Outro]
G        C    G
From the lips of the fool
