BRING ME SOME WATER
melissa etheridge
tonight I feel so weak
but all in love is fair
I turn the other cheek
(stop)
And I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night air
and I know you're only human
And I haven't got talking room
But tonight while I'm makinng excuses
(stop)
Some other woman is making love to you
(Chorus)
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see I'm burning alive
Can't you see my baby's got another lover
I don't know how I'm gonna surive
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see it's out of control
Baby's got my heart baby's got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil, sweet devil's got my soul
when will this aching pass
when will the night be through
I want to hear the breaking glass
I only feel the steel of the red hot truth
And I'd do anything to get it out of my mind
I need some insanity that temporary kind
tell me how will I ever be the same
when I know that woman is wispering you name
Chorus
Oh, devil's got my soul
Chorus
Please correct, if it isn't right...

So I will. I think it sounds better when you play E instead of Em, and
an A chord instead of Am. Play the A chord like this:
E---|---|---|-X-|--|
A---|---|---|-X-|--|
D---|-X-|---|---|--|
G---|-X-|---|---|--|
B---|---|---|---|--|
E---|---|---|---|--|
Use your first finger on the G and D string. Pluck the cords. Listen to
the song. If you play it like this, you can make the little 4-note riff
(rather fast) at the end of each line with your left hand (1st finger),
Oh, another thing. In the chorus, use D and Dsus4:
(let ring shortly)
