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
