Deeper Water Paul Kelly
Tuning: E A D G B E
You should know your chords, but just in case, they are at the bottom of the tab.
On[C] a crowded beach in a d[D]istant time[G]
At the heigh[C]t of summer see a[D] boy of fiv[G]e
At the water'[C]s edge so [D]nimble and free[G]
Jumping [C]over the ripples looking [D]way out to sea[G]
Now a man comes up from amoungst the throng
Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong
And the child feels safe, yeah the child feels brave
As he's carried in those arems up and over the waves
[C]Deeper water[D], [G]
[C]deeper water[D],[G]
[C]deeper water[D], [G]
[C]calling him [D]on[G]
(same chord progression, but now its powerchords.)
[C]Let's move forward now[D] and the child's seventee[G]n
With [C]a girl in the back s[D]eat tugging at his jeans[G]
And [C]she knows what she wants[D], she guides with her hand[G]
As a[C] voice cries inside him[D] - I'm a man, I'm a ma[G]n!
Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on
[C]Deeper water[D], [G]
[C]deeper water[D],[G]
[C]deeper water[D], [G]
[C]calling him [D]on[G]
[C]Now the man meets a woma[D]n unlike all the rest[G]
He d[C]oesn't know it yet but h[D]e's out of his depth[G]
And h[C]e thinks he can run, i[D]t's amatter of pride[G]
But [C]he keeps coming back li[D]ke a cork on the tide[G]
Wel[C]l the years hurry by and [D]the woman loves the m[G]an
Then [C]one night in the dark sh[D]e grabs hold of his ha[G]nd
Says [C]'There, can you feel it [D]kicking inside!'[G]
And [C]the man gets a shiver r[D]ight up and down his [G]spine
[C]Deeper water[D], [G]
[C]deeper water[D],[G]
[C]deeper water[D], [G]
[C]calling him [D]on[G]
(back to regular chords for this verse)
[C]So the clock moves around[D] and the child is a jo[G]y
But [C]Death doesn't care jus[D]t who it destroys[G]
Now [C]the woamn gets sick, [D]thins down to the bon[G]e
She [C]says 'Where I'm going [D]next, I'm going alo[G]ne'
[C]Deeper water[D], [G]
[C]deeper water[D],[G]
[C]deeper water[D], [G]
[C]calling him [D]on[G]
[C]On a distant beach l[D]onely and wild[G]
At[C] a later time see [D]a man and a chi[G]ld
And [C]the man takes the[D] child up into his[G] arms
T[C]akes her over th[D]e breakers[G]
T[C]o where the wate[D]r is calm[G]
[C]Deeper water[D], [G]
[C]deeper water[D],[G]
[C]deeper water[D], [G]
[C]calling him [D]on[G]
