Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I dreamed there was a fountain

I dreamed there was a vein

That overcame the mountain

Like a condescending rain

Verse 2

With love that's bigger than Los Angeles

With a speed that overcame the pain

Of a thousand left hand promises

Made by thieves with their good names

PRE CHORUS:

There came a song upon a west wind

That kissed the lips of spoon-fed babes

Though ignorant inside their blessings

  But it broke their hearts, and they sang

Chorus

Come drink this water

Come drink this blood

Come and drink this love

  that you could not afford

Verse 3

I stood and looked across the waters

Of a great Atlantic sea

I saw my sons I saw my daughters

It's like they had no tears to weep

PRE CHORUS:

There came a song upon a west wind

That kissed the lips of spoon-fed babes

Though ignorant inside their blessings

But it broke their hearts, and they sang

Chorus

Come drink this water

Come drink this blood

Come and drink this love that you could not afford

Come drink this water

Come drink this blood

Come and drink this love

  that you could not afford
