| C | G7 | |
| All | day I've faced the | barren waste |
| C | G7 | C | |
| with | out the taste of | water..... cool | water |
| F | G7 | |
| Ole | Dan and I with | throats burned dry |
| C | F | C | G7 | C | |
| and | souls that | cry for | water.... | cool, clear | water |
| C | G7 | |
| Keep a movin' Dan don't you | listen to him Dan |
| C | G7 | C | |
| He's the | devil, not a man he | spreads the burning sand with | water |
| F | G7 | |
| Dan can you see that | big green tree |
| F | G7 | C | |
| where the | water's runnin' free, it's | waiting there for me and | you |
| C | G7 | |
| The | nights are cool and | I'm a fool |
| C | G7 | C | |
| Each | star's a pool of | water.... cool, | water |
| F | G7 | |
| And | with the dawn I'll | wake and yawn |
| C | F | C | G7 | C | |
| and | carry | on to | water.... | cool, clear | water |
| C | G7 | |
| The | shadows sway and | seem to say |
| C | G7 | C | |
| to | night we pray for | water.... cool, | water |
| F | G7 | |
| And | way up there He'll | hear our prayer |
| C | F | C | G7 | C | |
| and | show us | where there's | water.... | cool, clear | water |
| C | G7 | |
| Dan's | feet are sore he's | yearnin' for |
| C | G7 | C | |
| Just | one thing more than | water.... cool, | water |
| F | G7 | |
| Like | me I guess he'd | like to rest |
| C | F | C | G7 | C | |
| Where | there's no | quest for | water.... | cool, clear | water |
| F | G7 | C | |
| cool, | clear | water |
