lyrics

Water Song Jan Hauenstein

(G) (Gj7) (Cj7) (D) (G) (Gj7) (Cj7) (D)
(G) Time comes at you like clear (Bm) water, now and then,
So (Am)clear that you can (D)see
What is (Am7)coming, whom you´ll (D)meet,
(G) Clear and clean, trans(Em)parency,
You (C)navigate so (D)easily,
And you (Em)want to swim (C) those (D)waters again and a(G)gain.
(Gj7) (Cj7) (D) (G) (Gj7) (Cj7) (D)

(G)Time comes at you like white (Bm)water, now and then,
So (Am)raw and brutal it´ll (D)drag you down,
And you (Am7)claw and fight, try (D)not to drown,
The (G)deep so dark you (Em)cannot see,
And the (C)water howls like a (D)mad banshee,
And you (Em)never want to have to brave (C) those (D)waters a(Em)gain.
(C) (D) (D4) (D4) (D)(hold)

(Em)And in the end, (Cj7)all that you get
Is (Bbj7/F) just a tiny (Dm)rivulet,
(Bb) Dripping slowly, slowly, (Am)slow,
And (Fj7)with the last drops, you (Em)go. (D) (D4) (D2) (D)
- Instrumental, chords like first verse -

(G)Time comes at you like a slow (Bm)river, now and then,
En(Am)velops you like a (D)soft warm hand,
(Am7)Safely carries you a(D)round the next bend,
So (G)slow and easy, lets you (Em) drift along,
(C)Listen to the hum of the (D)water song,
And you (Em)want to go adrift (C) a(D)gain and a(G)gain.
(C) (D) (D4) (D4) (D)(hold)

(Em)But in the end, (Cj7)all that we get
Is (Bbj7/F) just a tiny (Dm)rivulet,
(Bb) Dripping slowly, slowly, (Am)slow,
(Fj7)One last drop, and then we (Em)go. (D) (D4) (D2) (D) (D4) (D2)
(C) (Am) (D7) (G) (Gj7) (Cj7) (D) (G) (Gj7) (Cj7) (D) (G)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
