[F] [D]
I am dry in the long holiday, lost and lonely every way.
[Am] Lots of flats all around, sky up above.
Yes, [D] I need a little water of love.
I've been too long, lonely, and my heart feelin' pain.
Crying out for some silver rain.
[Am] I believe in taking it up.
[Em] [Am] [D] Yes, I need a little water of love.
[Dm] [D]
[Am] Water of love, deep in the ground.
[G] But there ain't no water [D] here to be found.
[Am] Someday, baby, when the river runs,
[G] I'm gonna carry that [D] water of love to me.

[D] [Am]
[C] [D] Right up in the tree, sitting up high,
just waiting for me to die.
[Am] If I don't get some water soon,
[D] I'll be dead and gone in the end.
[Am] Water of love, deep in the ground.
[G] But there ain't no water [D] here to be found.

[G] I'm gonna carry that water [D] of love to me.

[C] [D] I had a woman I could call my own.
Once I had a woman, now my woman she goes.
[Am] Once there was a river, now there's a stone.
[D] You know it's evil when you're living alone.
[Am] Water of love, deep in the ground.
[G] But there ain't no water [D] here to be found.
[Am] Someday, baby, when the river runs,
[G] I'm gonna carry that water [D] of love to me.
Carry that [Am] water of love, deep in the ground.
But [G] there ain't no water [D] here to be found.
