COOL WATER Lyrics 4/4         

Key: [C] Hank Williams version.



All [C] day I've faced the [G7] bar - ren waste 

With [C] out the taste of [G7] wa-ter..... cool, [C] wa-ter.

Ole [F] Dan and I, with [G7] throats burned dry ,

and [C] souls that [F] cry 

for [C] wa-ter.... [G7] cool, clear [C] wa-ter.



The [C] nights  are cool and [G7] I'm  a fool.

Each [C] star's a pool of [G7] wa-ter....  cool, clear [C] wa-ter.

And [F] with the dawn I'll [G7] wake and yawn 

and [C] car-ry [F] on 

to [C] wa-ter.... [G7] cool, clear [C] wa-ter.



The [C] sha - dows sway and [G7] seem to say

To- [C] night  we  pray for [G7] wa-ter....  cool, clear [C] wa-ter

And  [F] way up there He'll [G7] hear our prayer

and [C] show us [F] where 

there's [C] wa-ter.... [G7] cool, clear [C]wa-ter.



[C] Keep a-movin' Dan. Don't you [G7] listen to him Dan.

He's the [C] devil, not a man. 

He [G7] spreads the burnin' sand with [C] wa-ter.

Say [F] Dan can't you see that [G7] big green tree,

where the [F] water's runnin' free. 

It's [G7] waiting there for you and [C] me 

and [G7] wa-ter....  cool, clear [C] wa-ter.



Dan's [C] feet are sore he's [G7] yearnin' for

Just [C] one thing more than [G7] wa-ter....  cool, clear [C] wa-ter.

Like [F] me I guess he'd [G7] like to rest

where [C] there's no [F] quest 

for [C] wa-ter.... [G7] cool, clear [C] wa-ter.
