Water of Love
by Dire Straits


Intro: |D   |C   |G   | Am  C |   <- (these chords follow refrain)
       |D   |C   |G   |D   |

D
High and dry in the long hot day

Lost and lonely every way
        Am
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
Am
  I believe I've taken enough
    D
And yes I need a little water of love

Am
Water of love, deep in the ground
          G                   D
But there ain't no water here to be found
Am
Someday, baby, when the river runs free
           G                   D
It's gonna carry that water of love to me

          D
There's a bird up in a tree, sittin' up high

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


Refrain

D
Once I had a woman I could call my own

Once I had a woman, now my woman she gone
Am
Once there was a river, now there's a stone
D
 You know it's evil when you're livin' alone


Refrain 2x
