Standard (EADGBE)

 All day I've faced the barren waste

 With-out the taste of water, Cool, water

 Old Dan and I with throats burnt dry

 And souls that cry for water ....... Cool, clear, water

 Keep a-mov-in' Dan don't you listen to him Dan He's a

 dev-il not a man And he spreads the burning sand with

 water

 Dan can you see that big green tree where the

 waters runnin' free and it's waiting there for you an me

 The nights are cool and I'm a fool

 Each stars a pool of water, Cool, water

 But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn

 And carry on to water ...... Cool, clear, water

 The shadows sway and seem to say

 To-night we pray for water, Cool, water

 And 'way up there He'll hear our pray'r

 And show us where there's water ...... Cool, clear, water

 Dan's feet are sore and he's yearning for

 Just one more thing than water Cool water

 Like me I guess he'd like to rest

 Where there's no quest for water, Cool, clear, Water
