Water & Air by Cat Power
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From 1996's 'What Would The Community Think'. Figured this one out by accident. I think
that for the most part it's correct, but she strings together the riffs throughout the
song and the patterns are hard to pin down, so listen to the song to get a good idea on
it. I've provided a guide on the structure with timing, but it may not be one hundred
percent perfect.

Lyrics:

  I was dragged out
  By the shore man
  A augmentedA very poor man
  A augmentedA very nice man
  A augmentedA family man

  My lover drifted down the river
  Below the dark water
  The devil all around

  Yesterday on the street
  Someone called out your name
  Someone thought that you were me

  Last night there was a party
  I could not go
  I walked around it
  I thought about it
  All night long

  Today there is a newspaper
  About you and me
  And the day we were married
  The same day

  The same day they fell in love
  The same day they died in love
  I did not want you to die alone

  Rusty river, run down
  Run, run as fast as you can, oh, run
  Rusty river, run ragged
  And drag my lover south back to me
  I'll meet him there
  Water and air

  Oh, to be at the bottom of a river
  Below the dark water
  The devil all around
