On The Water chords by Great Lake Swimmers

Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]
G+G         C majorC         G+G
I was on the water when it began to heave
G+G     E minorEm    C majorC     D MajorD
And at the fight my words were strong
G+G          E minorEm         C majorC       G+G
But I would not have imagined that they?d stop making patterns
G+G          E minorEm         D MajorD       G+G
It?s caps of white, raised and broke I fasten to the boat


[Verse 2]
G+G           C majorC         G+G
The panic overtook me and the fear I held within
G+G    E minorEm      C majorC        D MajorD
I drew a breath and I tried to find the courage
G+G          E minorEm      C majorC         G+G
To stand the troubled trip. What have I gotten myself into?
G+G      E minorEm     D MajorD    G+G
I silently wondered, I silently asked

[Verse 3]
G+G        E minorEm     C majorC       G+G
I thought of my family and thought of my love
G+G       E minorEm     C majorC       D MajorD
I thought of my maker and what might be above
G+G          E minorEm     C majorC       G+G
And the cabin in the woods that I have not yet built
G+G     E minorEm         D MajorD      G+G
Many other things that I hold dear in this world


[Verse 4]
G+G       E minorEm        C majorC        G+G
I rode through the turmoil and rode through the strife
G+G       E minorEm        C majorC    D MajorD
I held to my words and I clumped to my life
G+G        E minorEm   C majorC    G+G
And then when my vision began to blur
G+G       E minorEm     D MajorD        G+G
This is what I saw and the thought that had occurred


[Verse 5]
G+G      E minorEm      C majorC      G+G
I saw every fish swimming fast beside me
G+G     E minorEm       C majorC         D MajorD
And all kinds of leafs from all different trees
G+G      E minorEm       C majorC       G+G
And all of the insects that circle on the earth
G+G      E minorEm       D MajorD       G+G
Birds and land animals are reaching towards birth


[Verse 6]
G+G      E minorEm    C majorC    G+G
And I saw my body on a body of water
G+G     E minorEm     G+G    D MajorD
And I could see that we were the same
G+G      E minorEm    C majorC     G+G
Roaring and reckless, invulnerable
G+G      E minorEm      D MajorD        G+G
Emotion and swinging and predisposed to changing


[Verse 7]
G+G      E minorEm   C majorC   G+G
When I open my eyes vision respell
G+G      E minorEm     C majorC      D MajorD
I picked up my oars and I kissed the coldness
G+G      E minorEm    C majorC   G+G
With stronger arms I silently swept
G+G      E minorEm    D MajorD   G+G
