[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
I need a little water of love
[Chorus]
Am7
Water of love deep in the ground,
G D
but there aint no water here to be found
Am7
Some day baby when the river runs free,
G D
It's gonna carry that water of love to me

[Verse 3]
D
There's a bird up in a tree, sitting up high,
D
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]
Am7
Water of love deep in the ground,
G D
but there aint no water here to be found
Am7
Some day baby when the river runs free,
G D
It's gonna carry that water of love to me

[Verse 4]
D
Once I had a woman I could call my own,
D
Once I had a woman now my woman is gone
Am
Once there was a river now there's a stone
D
You know it's evil when you're living alone
[Chorus] (x2)
Am7
Water of love deep in the ground,
G D
but there aint no water here to be found
Am7
Some day baby when the river runs free,
G D
It's gonna carry that water of love to me
