All [C] day I've faced the [G7] bar - ren waste |
|
With [C] out the taste of [G7] wa-ter..... cool, [C] wa-ter. |
|
Ole [F] Dan and I, with [G7] throats burned dry , |
|
and [C] souls that [F] cry |
|
for [C] wa-ter.... [G7] cool, clear [C] wa-ter. |
|
The [C] nights are cool and [G7] I'm a fool. |
|
Each [C] star's a pool of [G7] wa-ter.... cool, clear [C] wa-ter. |
|
And [F] with the dawn I'll [G7] wake and yawn |
|
and [C] car-ry [F] on |
|
to [C] wa-ter.... [G7] cool, clear [C] wa-ter. |
|
The [C] sha - dows sway and [G7] seem to say |
|
To- [C] night we pray for [G7] wa-ter.... cool, clear [C] wa-ter |
|
And [F] way up there He'll [G7] hear our prayer |
|
and [C] show us [F] where |
|
there's [C] wa-ter.... [G7] cool, clear [C]wa-ter. |
|
[C] Keep a-movin' Dan. Don't you [G7] listen to him Dan. |
|
He's the [C] devil, not a man. |
|
He [G7] spreads the burnin' sand with [C] wa-ter. |
|
Say [F] Dan can't you see that [G7] big green tree, |
|
where the [F] water's runnin' free. |
|
It's [G7] waiting there for you and [C] me |
|
and [G7] wa-ter.... cool, clear [C] wa-ter. |
|
Dan's [C] feet are sore he's [G7] yearnin' for |
|
Just [C] one thing more than [G7] wa-ter.... cool, clear [C] wa-ter. |
|
Like [F] me I guess he'd [G7] like to rest |
|
where [C] there's no [F] quest |
|
for [C] wa-ter.... [G7] cool, clear [C] wa-ter. |
