CAPO: 2nd Fret





INTRO:: FF ~ D MajorD G+G  C majorC D MajorD G+G  C majorC D MajorD G+G  C majorC D MajorD  G+G

VERSE 1::
      FF    C majorC       G+G
I'm just an ordinary North Country man
    FF         C majorC      G+G
I had a dream that bid me come here
      FF          C majorC      G+G
Although naïve, I thought that I'd make my way
         FF          C majorC    G+G
But fair-weather friends is all that I had

VERSE 2::
   FF           C majorC    G+G
They took from me all that I had to give
      FF       C majorC    G+G
Replenished me with their reason
     FF        C majorC     G+G
Don't you talk to me about your sacrifice
      FF     C majorC     G+G
Then ask of me if I'm leaving


CHORUS::
     C majorC      FF    G+G
I'm going down to the water today
      C majorC      FF  ~ ~ C majorC G+G
I've got to wash away my sorrow
     C majorC      FF    G+G
I'm going down to the water today
       C majorC     FF  ~ D MajorD  G+G
Gotta get me clean by tomorrow___


VERSE 3::
      FF    C majorC       G+G
I'm just an ordinary North Country man
       FF       C majorC    G+G
My dream has edges that are fading
         FF      C majorC     G+G
This year that's passed, it's not such a waste
      FF       C majorC     G+G
It's just a hard way to be learning

VERSE 4::
   FF          C majorC        G+G
We've got no choice in the life that we're born to
     FF          C majorC    G+G
Our only choosing, is in its living
       FF          C majorC          G+G
Now people in their own time, will show just what they are
      FF        C majorC   G+G
I hope this time, I know who I am


CHORUS::
     C majorC      FF    G+G
I'm going down to the water today
      C majorC      FF  ~ ~ C majorC G+G
I've got to wash away my sorrow
     C majorC      FF    G+G
I'm going down to the water today
       C majorC     FF  ~ D MajorD  G+G
Gotta get me clean by tomorrow___
