Baritone

Chords

All

C
day I've faced the

G7
barren waste

with

C
out the taste of

G7
water, cool

C
water

Ole

F
Dan and I with

G7
throats burned dry

and

C
souls that

F
cry for

C
water,

G7
cool, clear

C
water

The

C
nights are cool and

G7
I'm a fool

Each

C
star's a pool of

G7
water, cool

C
water

And

F
with the dawn I'll

G7
wake and yawn

and

C
carry

F
on to

C
water,

G7
cool, clear

C
water

Keep a

C
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
water

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

F

C
water,

G7
cool, clear

C
water

The

C
shadows sway and

G7
seem to say

to

C
-night we pray for

G7
water, cool,

C
water

And

F
way up there God'll

G7
hear our prayer

and

C
show us

F
where there's

C
water,

G7
cool, clear

C
water

He's the

water

F
Dan can't you see that

G7

F

C
water,

G7
cool, clear

C
water

Dan's

C
feet are sore he's

G7
yearnin' for

Just

C
one thing more than

G7
water, cool

C
water

Like

F
me I guess he'd

G7
like to rest

Where

C
there's no

F
quest for

C
water,

G7
cool, clear

C
water
