Lyrics

[Verse 1]
C    C                  G7
 All day I've faced the barren waste
    C                G7
Without the taste of water
     C
Cool water

[Chorus]
    F               G7
Ole Dan and I, with throats burned dry
         F
And souls that cry
    C
For water
    G7      C
Cool  clear water

[Verse 2]
          C             G7
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
     C                G7
Each star's a pool of water
           C
Cool clear water

[Chorus]
    F                  G7
And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
       F
And carry on
   C
To water
     G7      C
Cool,  clear water

[Verse 3]
    C                G7
The shadows sway and seem to say
  C                 G7
Tonight we pray for water
            C
Cool, clear water

[Chorus]
    F                  G7
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
        F
And show us where
        C
There's water
     G7      C
Cool,  clear water

[Verse 4]
    C
Keep a movin' Dan,
          G7
don't you listen to him Dan
         C
He's the devil, not a man
   G7                            C
He spreads the burnin' sand with water

[Chorus]
    F                         G7
Say Dan can't you see that big  green tree
          F
Where the water's runnin' free?
     G7                          C
It's waiting there for you and me
    G7
And water
            C
Cool, clear water

[Verse 5]
      C                   G7
Dan's feet are sore, he's yearnin' for
     C                   G7
Just one thing more than water
            C
Cool, clear water

[Outro]
     F                G7
Like me, I guess he'd like to rest
             F
Where there's no quest
    C
For water
     G7      C
Cool,  clear water
