Back in 1983, Sonny Terry said to me:
           E MajorE
When I put the bottle down
             A augmentedA
My friends stopped comin' 'round

            A augmentedA
They were comin' for my whiskey
          E MajorE
My malt liquor an' wine
          E MajorE          A augmentedA
Since I left it all behind, water works fine

Chorus:
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
Water works fine - pure an' sweet
        E MajorE              A augmentedA
It's a natural treat - like a good woman's love


Verse 2:
     A augmentedA              E MajorE
One crazy night we drank tequila like beer
          E MajorE
My recollection's unclear -
          A augmentedA
Ya know I felt like dyin'

        A augmentedA
My face in the mirror
           E MajorE
Scared the devil outa me
         E MajorE         A augmentedA
Made a blind man see - water works fine

It's a natural treat - like a good woman's love
       A augmentedA        E MajorE
Water works fine - served up neat
           E MajorE              A augmentedA
Well, it's a natural treat - like a good woman's love

Verse 3:
        A augmentedA
Hung-over, hung-up
         E MajorE
- drownin' in a cup
           E MajorE
I was feelin' kinda strange -
          A augmentedA
'Bout ready for a change
         A augmentedA
I was boozin' my mind,
         E MajorE
weavin' over the line
              E MajorE
When I saw the road sign sayin'
       A augmentedA
water works fine
