Dont Go Near The Water Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

AFrom the fountains in the mountains

 comes the Ewater running cool and clear and Ablue.

 And it Acomes down from the hills

 and it Egoes down to the towns and passes Athrough.

 When it Dgets down to the cities,

 then the water turns into a dirty Agray.

 It's Apoisoned and polluted

 by the Epeople as it goes along its Away.

DDon't go near the water children,

 see the fish all dead upon the Ashore.

DDon't go near the water,

 cause the Awater isn't Ewater any-Amore.

I took my boy fishin' to my old favorite fishin' hole.

I had caught many a fish out of that deep, clear water,

From the time I was a boy like him.

After we'd fished a few minutes, he said: "Did you get a bite yet daddy?"

I said: "I think I got a nibble son."

"Me too", he said.

Then he said: "Daddy if we catch a fish can we eat it?"

I said: "Well there was a time son.

This water's bad now and I might not be safe to eat the fish, but there was a time."

 There Awas a time the air was clean

 and Eyou could see forever cross the Aplains.

 The Awind was sweet as honey

 and no Eone had ever heard of acid Arain.

 We're Dtorturin' the earth

 and pourin' every kind of evil in the Asea.

 We Aviolated nature

 and our Echildren have to pay the penal-Aty.

DDon't go near the water children,

 see the fish all dead upon the Ashore.

DDon't go near the water,

 cause the Awater isn't Ewater any-Amore.

DDon't go near the water children,

 see the fish all dead upon the Ashore.

DDon't go near the water,

 cause the Awater isn't Ewater any-Amore.
