[Intro] B7 E [Verse 1]
    E                 B7
All day I've faced a barren waste

     E               B7           E
Without the taste of water, cool water

    A              B7
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry

    E          A       E
And souls that cry for water

B7           E
Cool, clear, water
[Verse 2]
    E                   B7
The nights are cool and I'm a fool

     E                B7
Each star's a pool of water

B7   E
Cool water

    A                  B7
And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn

    E     A     E
And carry on to water

B7           E
Cool, clear, water
[Verse 3]
E                           B7
Keep a-movin, Dan, don’tcha listen to him, Dan

       E
He's a devil, not a man

       B7                            E
And he spreads the burning sand with water

A                    E
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?

          A
Where the water's runnin' free

         B7                        E A
And it's waitin' there for you and me?

E
Water

B7           E
Cool, clear, water
[Verse 4]
    E                B7
The shadows sway and seem to say

 E                  B7
Tonight we pray for water

B7    E
Cool water

    A            B7
And way up there He'll hear our prayer

    E        A             E
And show us where there's water

B7           E
Cool, clear water
[Verse 5]
E                           B7
Keep a-movin, Dan, don’tcha listen to him, Dan

       E
He's a devil, not a man

       B7                            E
And he spreads the burning sand with water

A                    E
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?

          A
Where the water's runnin' free

         B7                        E A
And it's waitin' there for you and me?

E
Water

Cool, clear, water
[Outro – played slowly]
Am           E
