Water Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Now, everybody tells you're
the dog's best friend
I'm the cat's meow since
I don't know when
I'm an instigator from a dead man's town
So when did the whole world
turn upside down?

[Verse 2]
When did you [Am]change your mind?
When did you lose the juice?
Now, [D]where did you get your attitude?

[Verse 3]
When did you [Am]give it away?
What did the old man say?
And [D]how many babies did
you kick today?

[Verse 4]
Now, [D]how many nights can
the full moon shine?
How many [F]bottles of water
can you turn to wine
When the [G]blood has flowed
against the tides of time
And the wa[Am]ter flows [G]forever? H[Dm]ey,[Am]

[Interlude 1]
hey, hey

[Am][D]

[Verse 5]
[D]Now, [G]I'm[Am] gonna build a boat,
I'm gonna make it float
[C]'Cause I'm gettin[D]g the chase
for a [C]faraway place
Gonna set [Am]the sail, gonna catch some wind
[C]And the big[D] red sky's
gonna be my only friend
[G]With a boat

[Verse 6]
[Am]for two, just me and you
[C]You can be my [D]teacher,
I can teach you too
Gonna try [Am]a few things
that I've never done
[C]Maybe talk to [D]the fishes,
maybe have some fun

[Verse 7]
Maybe [Am]shake my pale
fist at the angry stars
[C]While I dan[D]ce a jig under
the eyes of Mars
When we get to an island where
no one's ever been
We can [F]get down and dirty
in our animal skins

[Verse 8]
And [G]I stand with my thing
hanging out in the wind
Where the water[Am]'s sweet like honey
Hey, hey, yeah, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, hey,

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 9]
I've been feeling [Am]a chill,
from the East wind blue
Is it creep[D]ing up slow,
have you felt it too?
Have you [Am]noticed the look,
have you felt the feel?
[C]Did it mak[D]e you blush when
the piggy squealed?
Have [G]you heard

[Verse 10]
[Am]what they say,
did you read the news?
Said, [C]the [D]old man's coming
home [Am]a singing the [G]blues
[Am]Gonna wh[G]ack your[Am] fanny,
gonna tan your hide
[C]Make your ears

[Verse 11]
[D]turn red
and [C]make you [Am]gonna cry
[C]Now, well, how[D] many children
gonna lose their minds
How many [F]crying girls will
be left behind?
When the [G]dead start walking
and the full moon shines

[Verse 12]
When [G]the dead [Am]start walking
and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking
and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking
and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking, [G]yeah[Am]

[Verse 13]
Now, [Am]everybody sing to the heavens above
[D]And everybody dance to
the sounds of love
Won't you [Am]clack your teeth,
won't you smack your hands?
[D]Won't you dig your little heads
right out of the sand?

[Verse 14]
Won't you [Am]jiggle your butt,
won't you wave your arms?
Won't [G]you [D]look like you just
came off of the farm?
Won't [Am]you stop your fighting
for a second or two?
Won't you help [D]your neighbors,
[Dsus4]won't you do the do?[D]
Won't [G]you taste

[Verse 15]
[Am]the sugar,
won't you eat the cake?
Won't [D]you get your ugly mug
right out of my face?
[G]Won't you [Am]tell your brothers
and your sisters tonight
That you [D]tasted the water and
[G]the water was right?

[Verse 16]
Won't you [Am]taste the sugar,
won't you dance the dance?
Won't you [D]wake up? Please and come
on out of your trance
Everybody make believe
that you disappear
For [G]a second

[Verse 17]
[F]or two, gonna feel so queer
And you [G]left behind all your rage and fear
And it made [Am]you feel like water
