The Water Johnny Flynn
This is a lovely duet with Laura Marling from Johnny's new album 'Been Listening'.
intro: C G C F
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
Verse:
[C]All that I [G]have is a [F]river
The [Am]river is always my[E] home
Lord, [C]take me aw[F]ay for I [Am]just cannot [F]stay
Or I'll [C]sink in my [G]skin and my [Am]bones
(All other verses use same chords)
Chorus:
The [C]water sus[G]tains me wit[C]hout even [F]trying
The [C]water can't d[G]rown me, I'm [Am]done
With my [F]dyy...[C]ing
Please help me build a small boat
One that'll ride on the flow
Where the river runs deep, and the larger fish creep
I'm glad of what keeps me afloat
The water sustains me without even trying
The water can't drown me, I'm done
With my dying
Now deeper the water I sail
And faster the current I'm in
So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver
The artist has run out of paint
The water sustains me without even trying
The water can't drown me, I'm done
With my dying
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
And the big yellow sun leads me home
I'm everywhere now, the way is a vow
To the wind of each breath by and by
The water sustains me without even trying
The water can't drown me, I'm done
With my dying
