Hank Williams - Cool Water.wmv chords
Start Jamming...
[C] All day I faced [G] the barren waste [C] without the [G] taste of water.
[Am] [C]
Oh, [F] Len and [G] I with throats burned dry [F] and souls that cry [C] for water.
[G] Oh, blue, [C]
the nights are cool [G] and I'm a-blue, [C] each star's a clue.
[G]
Oh, clear [C]
water and [F]
with the dawn [G] I'll wake and yawn [F] and carry on [C] to water.
[G]
Oh, clear, [C]
the shadows sway [G] and seem to say [C]
tonight we pray [G] for water.
Oh, clear, [C]
and [F] we'll fare, [G] he'll hear our prayer [F] and sure swear [C] there's water.
[G] Oh, clear, [C]
keep a-movin' Dan, [G] don't you listen to him Dan, [C] he's the devil not a man.
[G] He spreads the burning sand [C] with water, Sid, [F] and can't you [G] see that big green tree where [F] the water's running free?
[G] It's waiting there for [C] you and me.
And [G] water.
Oh, clear
[C] water.
Dan's feet are sore, [G] he's yearning for [C] just one thing more [G] than water.
Oh, [Em] clear [C] water.
[F] Like me, I guess [G] he'd like to rest, [F] for there's no quest [C] for water.
[G] Oh, clear [C] water.
