[Intro] D  Am G  D


 D
High and dry in the long hot day
  D
Lost and lonely every way
   Am
Got the flats all around me sky up above
 D
Yes I need a little water of love
 D
I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
 D
Crying out for some soothing rain
 Am
I believe I have taken enough
 D
Yes I need a little water of love

[Chorus]

 Am7
Water of love deep in the ground
           G                  D
But there ain't no water here to be found
  Am7
Some day baby when the river runs free
        G                       D
It's gonna carry that water of love to me


[Bridge] D Am G D


[Verse 2]

 D
There's a bird up in a tree sitting up high
 D
Just a-waiting for me to die
 Am
If I don't get some water soon
 D
I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon


[Chorus]

  Am7
Water of love deep in the ground
           G                  D
But there ain't no water here to be found
  Am7
Some day baby when the river runs free
        G                       D
It's gonna carry that water of love to me


[Bridge] D Am G D


[Verse 3]

 D
Once I had a woman I could call my own
 D
Once I had a woman now my woman she gone
 Am
Once there was a river now there's a Stone
 D
You know it's evil when you're living alone


[Chorus] (2x)

  Am7
Water of love deep in the ground
           G                  D
But there ain't no water here to be found
  Am7
Some day baby when the river runs free
        G                       D
It's gonna carry that water of love to me  (Carry that)
