CG7
All day I've faced the barren waste
CG7C
with out the taste of water, cool water
FG7
Ole Dan and I with throats burned dry
CFCG7C
and souls that cry for water, cool, clear water
CG7
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
CG7C
Each star's a pool of water.... cool, clear water
FG7
And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
CFCG7C
and carry on to water ,cool, clear water
CG7
The shadows sway and seem to say
CG7C
tonight we pray for water, cool, clear water
FG7
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
CFCG7C
and show us where there's water, cool, clear water
CG7
Keep a movin' Dan don't you listen to him Dan
CG7C
He's the devil, not a man he spreads the burnin' sand with water
FG7
Say Dan can't you see that big green tree
FG7C
where the water's runnin' free, it's waiting there for you and me
G7C
And water, cool, clear water
CG7
Dan's feet are sore he's yearnin' for
CG7C
Just one thing more than water, cool, clear water
FG7
Like me I guess he'd like to rest
CFCG7C
Where there's no quest for water, cool, clear water
