As recorded by Peter Gabriel (From the 2023 Album i/o) [Intro] G Dm [Verse 1]
Dm     F     C      Dm
In the misty silver night

   F    C           Dm
My eyes fall to the ground

      F       C     Dm G
I can feel it come alive

Dm                   F
In the seeds pushing out through the soil

Dm                  F       G              Dm
New life weaves its way out through the coil

                F         C        Dm G
Nothing’s gonna hold this movement down
[Pre-Chorus]
F      C
I was apart from it

   F           C
My head in the sky

     G          C
With no ears to listen

   G                C
No light reached my eye

F               C
There grows the fungi

      F           C
Still tied to its past

       G              C
To the melting of the solid world

    G                C
The change is coming fast
[Chorus]
C
And it’s, oh-oh!

G            Am                 C
I’ve got the water falling on me

G        Am          G C
It's all waking me up

G            Am                        C
I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back

G       Am        G    C
Warming up all my bones

G            Am          G           C
I’ve got thе cool breeze right on my skin

G        F                 C
Bringing every cеll to life

Am           G
Making all connections live

     F             C
From one point to another

          G
And we’re all here, just the same

F                C
Try to make some sense of it

Am              G
Where I’m going now

F             C
How it fits together

       G
In the bigger shape of things
[Interlude] Dm F Dm F Dm F Dm [Verse 2]
      F              Dm
And I slide into the waves

F       G      Dm
Leaving land behind

      F      C     Dm           F
It's another world I’m entering now

Dm                        F           C
There’s the shark pushing through the swaying weeds

Dm           F             G
Predator and prey sort out their needs

Dm              F         C       Dm   G
Nothing’s gonna hold this pattern down
[Pre-Chorus]
F      C
I was apart from it

     F            C
In a world of our own

   G              C
We lost all connection

       G                     C
To the place from which we’d grown

    F            C
But here in this helmet

      F          C
I can read other minds

G            C
Scan all the thinking

        G           C
All the juice I can find
[Chorus]
C
And it’s, oh-oh!

G            Am                 C
I’ve got the water falling on me

G        Am          G C
It's all waking me up

G            Am                        C
I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back

G       Am        G    C
Warming up all my bones

G            Am          G           C
I’ve got thе cool breeze right on my skin

G        F                 C
Bringing every cеll to life

Am           G
Making all connections live

     F             C
From one point to another

          G
And we’re all here, just the same

F                C
Try to make some sense of it

Am              G
Where I’m going now

F             C
How it fits together

       G
In the bigger shape of things
[Interlude] C D G C D G C [Bridge]
Em C  D        G  C
Water falls on me

     Em D   C      G     C
It's waking up the world

Em D           G  C
Water falls on us

                 Em   G C
Falling from the head

             G        C
Falling from the head

             D
Falling from the head

F  G
Oh-oh!

F  G    F G
Oh-oh!
[Chorus]
C
Oh-oh!

G            Am                 C G Am G C
I’ve got the water falling on me

G            Am                        C G Am G C
I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back

G            Am          G           C   G Am G C
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin

G            Am    G          C G Am
I’ve got the water falling on me

G     N.C.
Water falling on me
