Chords

As recorded by Bonnie "Prince" Billy (2025 release) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
D
Fifty years ago, or fifty years from now

D
Gotta lighten your load, gotta put it down

D
Go to the water, and jump right in

               A                      D
Wash away your troubles, be yourself again
[Verse 2]
D
We go down to the swimming hole

D
Where we could both finally bear our souls

D
Swim all day in the warm sunlight

           A                            D
Lay on our backs and watch the stars at night
[Chorus]
         G       D
Life can be so unkind

          A              D
You gotta leave it all behind

        G               D
You got yours and I got mine

        A               D
Come on in, the water's fine
[Guitar Solo] G D A D [Verse 3]
D
When happiness seems out of reach

D
There's a lot of good times down on the beach

D
Take off your wig, take off your clothes, honey

                   A                           D
And go down to the ocean, get the sand in your toes
[Chorus]
             G       D
Oh, life can be so unkind

          A              D
You gotta leave it all behind

        G               D
You got yours and I got mine

        A               D
Come on in, the water's fine
[Fiddle Solo] G D A D [Verse 4]
D
Well find yourself a mountain stream

D
Where the air is cool and the water's clean

D
Ain't no bars on the telephone

               A                       D
Sometimes it's best just to really be alone
[Verse 5]
D
Later on, the sun goes down

D
The barred owl calls, and your friends come 'round

D
We build a fire, scream at a stars

   A              D
Realize how small we are
[Out-Chorus]
              G       D
Well life can be so unkind

          A              D
You gotta leave it all behind

        G                D
You got yours, and I got mine

        A               D
Come on in, the water's fine

         G       D
Life can be so unkind

          A              D
You gotta leave it all behind

        G                D
You got yours, and I got mine

        A               D
Jump on in, the water's fine

        A               D
Ease on in, the water's fine

                  A               G
Cold plunge, jump in, the water's fine

                        D
Jump on in, the water's fine
