[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm]
[Am][G]
[Am][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Am]On
a crowded [Dm]beach in a distant [Am]time
At the height [Dm]of summer; see
[Am]a boy of five
[Dm]At the w[F]a ter's edge so nimble
[Am]and [Dm]free[Am][Dm]
Jumping [Am]over the ripples,
looking way out [Dm]to sea
[Am]Now a ma[F]n

[Verse 2]
comes up
from amongst the throng
Takes the [Am]young [C]boy's [D]hand,
and [Am]his hand is [Dm]strong
And the [Am]child feels safe,
[C]yeah, the child feels brave
[Dm]As h[D]e's carried in t[Em]hose arms
up and over the waves
Deep[E]er water, deep

[Verse 3]
[Em]er water,
deeper water[Am], calling him on
Let's move forward now and
the child's seventeen
With a girl in [Dm]the b[Am]ack [Dm]seat,
[Am]tug ging at his jeans
And she [Dm]knows [Am]what[F] she wants; she
guides with [Am]her [Dm]hand[Am][Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am]As a[Dm] voic[Am]e cri[Dm]es i[Am]nside[Dm][Am]
him: "I'm a [F]man! I'm a man!"

[Verse 4]
Deeper water, deeper water,
[Am]deeper [Dm]water[Am], ca[Dm]llin[C]g hi[Dm]m on[C]
[Dm]Now [D]the man meet[Am]s a woman,
[Dm]un like al[Am]l the re[Dm]st[Am][C]
He does[D]n't know it yet,
[Em]but he's out of [E]his depth
And he thinks [Dm]he can[E]
[Dm]
[E]
[Am]
[C]run[Am]; it'[C]s a matter of pride
[Am]But he keeps[F] coming back like a cork
[Am]on t[Dm]he ti[Am]de[Dm][Am][Dm][C]

[Verse 5]
Well [D]the years [Dm]hurry [Am]by, and the
[C]woman [D]loves the man
[Am]Then one [Dm]night in [Am]the dark she grabs
[C]hold of his hand
Says: "There,
can you [D]feel it kicking inside?"
[Em]And the man gets a shiver right up and
down his spine

[Verse 6]
Deeper water, deeper [Am]water, deeper
[Dm]wate[Am]r, ca[Dm]lling[Am] him on
[Dm]So the [Am]clock[Dm] mov[Am]es around,
and the child is a [F]joy
But Death doesn't [Dm]care[F][Dm]
[Am]just who it destroys
Now the woamn gets sick,
[G]thins [Am]down to the bone
She says: "Where I'm going next,
[F]I'm going [Dm]alone."
[F]Deep[Dm]er

[Verse 7]
[F]wat[Dm]er, deeper
water
[Am]On a distant beach, lonely and wild
At a [G]later [Am]time, see a man and a child
And the man takes the child
up [F]into [Dm]his arms
Takes [F]her [Dm]over[Am] the breakers

[Verse 8]
To where the water is calm
[Am]
Deeper water, deeper water
Deeper water, calling them on
