Cool Water Tab

by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club


Cool water is an old country song.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club covered the Hank Williams version.
Here are the chords.

Normal Tuning EADGBe

                      
All day I've faced the barren waste 
                                       
Without the taste of water..... cool water
                          
Ole Dan and I with throats burned dry
                                        
and souls that cry for water.... cool, clear water

                              
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
                                         
Each star's a pool of water.... cool, water
                                          
And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
                                                       
and carry on to water.... cool, clear water

                          
The shadows sway and seem to say
                                                 
Tonight we pray for water.... cool, water
                                               
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
                                                                     
and show us where there's water.... cool, clear water

                                                 
Keep a movin' Dan don't you listen to him Dan
                                                                           
He's the devil, not a man he spreads the burnin' sand with water
                                            
Dan can't you see that big green tree
                                                                            
where the water's runnin' free, it's waiting there for you and me
                                   
water.... cool, water

                                         
Dan's feet are sore he's yearnin' for
                                                          
Just one thing more than water.... cool, water
                                     
Like me I guess he'd like to rest 
                                                                          
Where there's no quest for water.... cool, clear water
