[Intro]

|  D|  C|  G|  D|
[Verse]
DHigh and dry in the long hot day,
Dlost and lonely in every way
Got the Amflats all around me, sky up above,
Dyes, I need a little water of love
DI've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain,
Dcrying out for some soothing rain
   AmI believe I've taken enough,
Dyes I need a little water of love
[Chorus]
AmWater of love deep in the ground,
but there Gain’t no water here Dto be found
AmSome day baby when the river runs free,
It's gonna Gcarry that water of Dlove to me
[Solo]
|  D|  C|  G|  Am   C|
[Verse]
There's a Dbird up in a tree,
Dsitting up high, just a-waitin' for me to die
AmIf I don't get some water soon,
I'll be Ddead and gone in the afternoon
[Chorus]
AmWater of love deep in the ground,
but there Gain’t no water here Dto be found
AmSome day baby when the river runs free,
It's gonna Gcarry that water of Dlove to me
[Solo]
|  D|  C|  G|  Am   C|
[Verse]
DOnce I had a woman I could call my own,
DOnce I had a woman, now my woman she gone
AmOnce there was a river, now there's a stone
  DYou know it's evil when you're living alone
[Chorus]
AmWater of love deep in the ground,
but there Gain’t no water here Dto be found
AmSome day baby when the river runs free,
It's gonna Gcarry that water of Dlove to me
Carry that Amwater of love deep in the ground,
but there Gain’t no water here Dto be found
AmSome day baby when the river runs free,
It's gonna Gcarry that water of Dlove to me

High and dry in the long hot day,

lost and lonely in every way

Got the flats all around me, sky up above,

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

I believe I've taken enough,

yes I need a little water of love

[Chorus]

Water of love deep in the ground,

but there ain’t no water here to be found

Some day baby when the river runs free,

G D

It's gonna carry that water of love to me
