The Waters Fine chords by Bonnie Prince Billy

• Capo on 2nd

Key: E

Intro:

D


Verse 1:
D
Fifty years ago, or fifty years from now
D
Gotta lighten your load, gotta put it down
D
Go to the water, and jump right in
               A                      D
Wash away your troubles, be yourself again

Verse 2:
D
We go down to the swimming hole
D
Where we could both finally bear our souls
D
Swim all day in the warm sunlight
           A                            D
Lay on our backs and watch the stars at night


Chorus:
         G       D
Life can be so unkind
          A              D
You gotta leave it all behind
        G               D
You got yours and I got mine
        A               D
Come on in, the water's fine


Guitar Solo:
G    D    A    D


Verse 3:
D
When happiness seems out of reach
D
There's a lot of good times down on the beach
D
Take off your wig, take off your clothes, honey
                   A                           D
And go down to the ocean, get the sand in your toes


Chorus:
             G       D
Oh, life can be so unkind
          A              D
You gotta leave it all behind
        G               D
You got yours and I got mine
        A               D
Come on in, the water's fine


Fiddle Solo:
G    D    A    D


Verse 4:
D
Well find yourself a mountain stream
D
Where the air is cool and the water's clean
D
Ain't no bars on the telephone
               A                       D
Sometimes it's best just to really be alone


Verse 5:
D
Later on, the sun goes down
D
The barred owl calls, and your friends come 'round
D
We build a fire, scream at a stars
   A              D
Realize how small we are


Out-Chorus:
              G       D
Well life can be so unkind
          A              D
You gotta leave it all behind
        G                D
You got yours, and I got mine
        A               D
Come on in, the water's fine
         G       D
Life can be so unkind
          A              D
You gotta leave it all behind
        G                D
You got yours, and I got mine
        A               D
Jump on in, the water's fine
        A               D
Ease on in, the water's fine
                  A               G
Cold plunge, jump in, the water's fine
                        D
Jump on in, the water's fine
