Verse 1:
G           C G
I hate this old place
G           C G
And what it represents
G           C G
And I hate who I was
G            C G
And who I ended up since
G             Am D/F#      G
But if you learned how to swim in case you'd drowned

G           Am D/F#
Don't ask her for the water
             G  C G C
Cause she'll swallow you down


Verse 2:
G              C G
And she's ten miles of peace
G             C G
And the hardest of nights
G            C G
And her belfry's got arch
G             C G
But her rooftops all right
G           Am D/F#
But down here in the sewer
        G  C G
I'm smelling a rat



G           Am   Bb
Don't ask her for the Whiskey
     D/F#    G C F6sus2 C G C
Cause her waters all that

Verse 3:

G            C G
And what horses we rode
G             C G
Through what sombre fields
G            C G
With our lovers at war
G            C G
And the dust on their heels
G             C D
And the infidels screamed,
G          C G
"it's all but a lie"



G           Am D/F#
Don't ask her for the water,
             G  C G C
Cause she'll teach you to cry
G           Am D/F#
Don't ask her for the water

Cause she'll teach you to cry


Verse 4:
G            C G
And her weapon of choice,
G             C G
Is a red-patterned dress
G             C G
And a sac full of stones
G             C G
With her hands on her chest
G             C G
And a book full of quotes
G             C G
And a tight fastened lip



G           Am D/F#
Don't ask her for the water
             G  C G C
Cause you'll sink like a ship
G           Am D/F#
Don't ask her for the water
             G  C G
Cause you'll sink like a ship
