Don't Go Near The Water Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Dm]

[Verse 1]
I was [Dm]a- playin' rock
and roll in a local theater
Well, I knew it had to happen
to me sooner or later
There was a foxy little lady dancing
down in the front row
I said, "Honey, can you meet me when I
finish the next show?"
There was somethin' about the
lady that really got to me
She was down on my zipper,
tears a- ripplin' through me
She said, "Boy, let me tell you if you're
gonna give me good love
Start makin' good love, it's what
you really got plenty of"

[Verse 2]
She told me [Dm]now,
"Don't go near the water, yeah
If you can't swim the tide"
She told me now,
"Don't go near the water, yeah

[Verse 3]
If you can't swim the tide"
[Dm][C]
Well, let me [Dm]tell you, couldn't
wait 'til the last song was over
I had sixty- nine ways I was
really gonna show her
So I took her to the dressing
room and really got to it
Everything I thought I'd show
her, well, she already knew it
But I looked at my watch,
it was time for me to go
I said, "Honey,
got to stop or I'll be late for the next show"
She said, "There ain't no way I
got to stop this good thing
If you're gonna be a man,
you got to finish what you started"

[Verse 4]
She told me [Dm]now,
"Don't go near the water
[C]If you [Dm]can't swim the tide"
She told me now,
"Don't go near the water, yeah
If you can't swim the tide"
You got to [Gm]stop [C]it, baby[Gm]
