[Verse 1]
[G]Dam[D]ned[Em] old[D] lev[C]y,[G][C]
Well they [D]knew that it would [G]go.[C][G]
Been talking [C]about it,
Since [D]be fore my [G]daddy's born.
Ain't nobody [C]listens to what a
[D]poor man has to [G]say.

[Verse 2]
But down [G]here we're washed by the [Em]water,
[D]The water can[C]'t wash us [G]away.
Now I hear people [C]talkin',

[Verse 3]
[D]
Say I should [G]have up and gone.
But I ain't got [C]nothing but [D]this place,
To call [G]my home.
My father and [C]his father,
Stay [D]until their dying [G]days

[Verse 4]
Down [G]here [D]we're washed by the [Em]water,
[D]The water can[C]'t wash us awa[G]y.
Down here we're [D]washed
by the [Em]wa ter,
[D]The water [C]can't wash us [G]away.

[Verse 5]
[C]
We'll put it back to[D]gether,
With our [G]own two [C]hands.
Ain't [D]nobody gonna turn us [G]around.[C]
It's oddly a little [D]empty,
[G]And it all seems broken [C]down.
Oh Lord we sure could [D]use you now.

[D][G][D][Em][D][C][G]
Then the president came [C]down, And said

[Verse 6]
[D]
this is awful [G]sad.
But ain't no word[C]s from that man,
Gonna [D]bring us nothing [G]back
And in the ghost [C]of church bells, I

[Verse 7]
[D]
hear my momma [G]say

[Verse 8]
Down [G]here we're [D]washed by the [Em]water,
[D]The water can[C]'t wash us [G]away.
Down here we're [D]washed by the [Em]water,
[D]The water can[C]'t wash
[G]us away.

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][D][G][C][D][G]
Been washed by the [C]water, the water

[Verse 9]
[D]
can't wash [G]us away
Been washed by the [C]water,
the water [D]can't wash us [G]away
Been washed by the [C]wa ter,
the water [D]can't wash us [G]away
(Everybody sing)
Been washed by the [C]wa ter,
the water [D]can't wash [G]us away
(Can't wash us away)
Been washed by the [C]water,
the water [D]can't wash us away
[G](Can't wash us away)
Been washed by the [C]water,
the water [D]can't wash us away
[G](No no no no no no)
Been washed by the [C]water,
water [D]can't wash us away
[G](Can't wash us away)
Been [C]washed by the water,
water [D]can't wash [G]us away
(One more time)
Been washed by the [C]water,
water [D]can't wash us away
