[ Water of Love von Dire Straits ]




Intro: 2 x D  C  G  D


D
High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
        Am7
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,
Crying out for some soothing rain
                Am7
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  (stop)           D
It's gonna carry that water of love to me


Solo like intro: D  C  G  D   1 time


          D
There's a bird up in a tree, sitting up high,
Just a-waitin' for me to die
Am7
If I don't get some water soon,
         D
I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon


Chorus + solo like intro: D  C  G  D   1 time


D
Once I had a woman I could call my own,
Once I had a woman now my woman is gone
Am7
Once there was a river now there's a stone
D
You know it's evil when you're living alone


Chorus + outro: D  C  G  D   1 time
