B7E
[Verse 1]
EB7
All day I've faced a barren waste
EB7E
Without the taste of water, cool water
AB7
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
EAE
And souls that cry for water
B7E
Cool, clear, water
[Verse 2]
EB7
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
EB7
Each star's a pool of water
B7E
Cool water
AB7
And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
EAE
And carry on to water
B7E
Cool, clear, water
[Verse 3]
EB7
Keep a-movin, Dan, don’tcha listen to him, Dan
E
He's a devil, not a man
B7E
And he spreads the burning sand with water
AE
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
A
Where the water's runnin' free
B7EA
And it's waitin' there for you and me?
E
Water
B7E
Cool, clear, water
[Verse 4]
EB7
The shadows sway and seem to say
EB7
Tonight we pray for water
B7E
Cool water
AB7
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
EAE
And show us where there's water
B7E
Cool, clear water
[Verse 5]
EB7
Keep a-movin, Dan, don’tcha listen to him, Dan
E
He's a devil, not a man
B7E
And he spreads the burning sand with water
AE
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
A
Where the water's runnin' free
B7EA
And it's waitin' there for you and me?
E
Water
B7E
Cool, clear, water
