[Verse 1]
C       G               Em      D*
I still remember when I saw her
C           G               D
There as she wandered in the garden
C           G                    Em      D*
Standing a stone’s throw from her mother
C            G           D
There in the hazy afternoon
C             G        D     Em   D*
And I could hear a hallelu—llelujah
C             G                D
Like wedding bells all silver gold
C            G              D       Em   D
And oh, I felt it there and then—I still do
C             G                 D
Her smile a-rushing through my soul
 
 
[Chorus]
C             G       D   Em
She’s awesome as a mighty host
C          G              D
She’s an army with its banners flown
C                     G          D      Em
Now who is this who shines forth as the dawn?
C              G                  D
Clear as the moon and bright as sunbeam songs
C             G                   D         Em
She’s honey-sweet, and oh, she’s red-wine strong
C           G            D               C G D C G D
Oh, many waters cannot quench this love
 
 
[Verse 2]
C          G              Em     D*
Do you remember all the good times
C              G              D
When we were countin’ every dime?
C           G               Em    D*
Oh we were poor as honest salesmen
C             G                D
Thirteen hour days, not much to show.
C            G                   D      Em    D
You always told me you that you felt—so rich then
C            G             D
We always kept each other warm
C           G              D           Em   D
Didn’t we feast upon the fat things—a love like
C             G                D
Whiskey and songs around the hearth
 
 
[Chorus]
C             G       D   Em
She’s awesome as a mighty host
C          G              D
She’s an army with its banners flown
C                     G          D      Em
Now who is this who shines forth as the dawn?
C              G                  D
Clear as the moon and bright as sunbeam songs
C             G                   D         Em
She’s honey-sweet, and oh, she’s red-wine strong
C           G            D               C G D C G D
Oh, many waters cannot quench this love
 
 
[Verse 3]
C             G           Em       D*
Weren’t we fruitful as a plum tree;
C             G              D
Better than trips to sandy shores
C             G              Em      D*
Give me the sound of all our children,
C                 G          D
These rough and tumble afternoons
C              G              D      Em   D
This life the Lord has given us—oh splendor!
C              G          D
And when I’m dying on my bed
C           G             D          Em  D
Oh, God Almighty, let me hear them—a chorus
C           G             D
Of all my people singing Psalms
C             G           D
With ragged breath, I’ll sing along
 
[Chorus]
C             G       D
She’s awesome as a mighty host
C          G              D
She’s an army with its banners flown
C                     G          D      Em
Now who is this who shines forth as the dawn?
C              G                  D
Clear as the moon and bright as sunbeam songs
C             G                   D         Em
She’s honey-sweet, and oh, she’s red-wine strong
C           G            D          Em
Oh, many waters cannot quench this love
 
 
[Refrain]
C           G            D          Em
Oh, many waters cannot quench this love
C           G            D          Em
Oh, many waters cannot quench this love
C           G            D               C G Em D* C G D
Oh, many waters cannot quench this love
