Water Of Love

(D)High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
Got the (Am)flats all around me, sky up above,
(D)Yes, I need a little water of love

I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
Crying out for some soothing rain
(Am)I believe I've taken enough,
(D)I need a little water of love

(Am)Water of love deep in the ground,
but there (G)aint no water here (D)to be found
(Am)Some day baby when the river runs free,
It's gonna (G)carry that water of (D)love to me

There's a bird up in a tree, sitting up high,
Just a-waitin' for me to die
(Am)If I don't get some water soon,
I'll be (D)dead and gone in the afternoon

(Am)Water of love deep in the ground,
but there (G)aint no water here (D)to be found
(Am)Some day baby when the river runs free,
It's gonna (G)carry that water of (D)love to me

Once I had a woman I could call my own,
Once I had a woman now my woman is gone
(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,
but there (G)aint no water here (D)to be found
(Am)Some day baby when the river runs free,
It's gonna (G)carry that water of (D)love to me

(Am)Water of love deep in the ground,
but there (G)aint no water here (D)to be found
(Am)Some day baby when the river runs free,
It's gonna (G)carry that water of (D)love to me
