Version 1
[Intro]
B7 E
[Verse 1]
E B7
All day I've faced a barren waste
E B7 E
Without the taste of water, cool water
A B7
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
E A E
And souls that cry for water
B7 E
Cool, clear, water
[Verse 2]
E B7
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
E B7
Each star's a pool of water
B7 E
Cool water
A B7
And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
E A E
And carry on to water
B7 E
Cool, clear, water
[Verse 3]
E B7
Keep a-movin, Dan, don’tcha listen to him, Dan
E
He's a devil, not a man
B7 E
And he spreads the burning sand with water
A E
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
A
Where the water's runnin' free
B7 E A
And it's waitin' there for you and me?
E
Water
B7 E
Cool, clear, water
[Verse 4]
E B7
The shadows sway and seem to say
E B7
Tonight we pray for water
B7 E
Cool water
A B7
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
E A E
And show us where there's water
B7 E
Cool, clear water
[Verse 5]
E B7
Keep a-movin, Dan, don’tcha listen to him, Dan
E
He's a devil, not a man
B7 E
And he spreads the burning sand with water
A E
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
A
Where the water's runnin' free
B7 E A
And it's waitin' there for you and me?
E
Water
B7 E
Cool, clear, water
[Outro – played slowly]
Am C E
Cool, clear, water
