Well no one believed him so they wouldn't take his offer to bed him down.
      A                          B7                              E
They figured he was evil so they had a quick meeting about what they should
do.
E                                                    F#
Through the parched streets they showed him the way back out of their town.

Most folks laughed and scoffed him, some started digging down.

And they found so much water, I think somebody drowned.
