Water of Love - Mark Knopfler [Intro] | D | C | G | Am C | | D | C | G | D | [Verse]
D
High and dry in the long hot day,

D
lost and lonely in every way

        Am
Got the flats all around me, sky up above,

D
yes, I need a little water of love

D
I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain,

D
crying out for some soothing rain

Am
   I believe I've taken enough,

D
yes I need a little water of love
[Chorus]
Am
Water of love deep in the ground,

          G                   D
but there ain’t no water here to be found

Am
Some day baby when the river runs free,

           G                   D
It's gonna carry that water of love to me
[Solo] | D | C | G | Am C | [Verse]
          D
There's a bird up in a tree,

D
sitting up high, just a-waitin' for me to die

Am                              
If I don't get some water soon,

        D
I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon
[Chorus]
Am
Water of love deep in the ground,

          G                   D
but there ain’t no water here to be found

Am
Some day baby when the river runs free,

           G                   D
It's gonna carry that water of love to me
[Solo] | D | C | G | Am C | [Verse]
D
Once I had a woman I could call my own,

D
Once I had a woman, now my woman she gone

Am
Once there was a river, now there's a stone

D
  You know it's evil when you're living alone
[Chorus]
Am
Water of love deep in the ground,

          G                   D
but there ain’t no water here to be found

Am
Some day baby when the river runs free,

           G                   D
It's gonna carry that water of love to me

           Am
Carry that water of love deep in the ground,

          G                   D
but there ain’t no water here to be found

Am
Some day baby when the river runs free,

           G                   D
It's gonna carry that water of love to me
