Title: EARTH AND WATER SONG  Artist: HUMBLE PIE 	     
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 From the 1970 Album: 'Humble Pie'

 Lovely acoustic song almost entirely attributable to Peter Frampton,
 surely rock's most underrated guitarist. I haven't gone right into the 
 signatures, so it's basically the main chord progressions. All little 
 flourishes and twirls can be heard from the record.


  Intro: (Basically a D chord, then to Am).

  Note: 6th (Lower 'E' string) is not sounded at any stage during
             Intro or verses. First or High 'E' can be sounded in
             passing, where not shown.

Rest of verses:

I'll take your word 
That a moonbeam can be heard
Time passes by
But my heart still stays the same

She came just like the sun
I know she is mine, I know.
You see the stars and yet
I am the Earth and she is my water.
Yeah, I am the Earth and she is my water.

I'll take your word
That your moon has moved away
Don't look ahead for me,
I'll wait my turn

I am the Earth and she is my water.

I have found all I need is my love
In the day, oh! at night 
and in the morning.
She can tell when I'm down.
I'll sing this song
When things are wrong.

I live from day to day
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
Love and fate run hand in hand.
I know there must be a better land.
I know there must be a better land.
