GAll day I've faced a D7barren waste
WithGout the taste of D7water cool Gwater
Old CDan and I with D7throats burnt dry
And Gsouls that Ccry for Gwater D7cool clear Gwater
Keep a movin' Dan don't you D7listen to him Dan
He's a Gdevil not a man and he D7spreads the burning sand with Gwater
CDan can you see that Gbig green tree
Where the Cwater's running free and it's D7waitin' there for you and Gme
The nights are cool and D7I'm a fool
Each Gstar's a pool of D7water cool Gwater
But Cwith the dawn I'll D7wake and yawn
And Gcarry Con to Gwater D7cool clear Gwater
Keep a movin' Dan don't you D7listen to him Dan
He's a Gdevil not a man and he D7spreads the burning sand with Gwater
CDan can you see that Gbig green tree
Where the Cwater's running free and it's D7waitin' there for you and Gme
Dan's feet are sore he's D7yearning for
Just Gone thing more than D7water cool Gwater
LiCke me I guess he'd D7like to rest
Where Gthere's no Cquest for Gwater D7cool clear Gwater
Keep a movin' Dan don't you D7listen to him Dan
He's a Gdevil not a man and he D7spreads the burning sand with Gwater
CDan can you see that Gbig green tree
Where the Cwater's running free and it's D7waitin' there for you and Gme

He's a devil not a man and he spreads the burning sand with water

Where the water's running free and it's waitin' there for you and me

The nights are cool and I'm a fool

Where the water's running free and it's waitin' there for you and me
