Chords with lyrics
Water from Another Time
Chords
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
New mown hay on a July morn
FF F/AF/A C majorC
Grandkids running through the knee-high corn
G+G C majorC FF
Sunburned nose and a scabbed-up knee
C majorC G/BG/B
From a rope on the white oak tree
G+G C majorC FF
Just another summer's day at Grandpa's farm
C majorC FF
With Grandma's bucket hanging off my arm
FF C majorC
You know, the old pump's rusty but it works fine
G+G C majorC
Primed with water from another time
CHORUS:
FF C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
It don't take much, but you gotta have some
FF F/AF/A C majorC
The old ways help the new ways come
G+G C majorC FF
Just leave a little extra for the next in line
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
They're gonna need a little water from another time
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Tattered quilt on the goose-down bed
FF F/AF/A C majorC
"Every stitch tells a story," my Grandma said
G+G C majorC FF
Her mama's nightgown, her grandpa's pants
C majorC G/BG/B
And the dress she wore to her high school dance
G+G C majorC FF
Now wrapped at night in its patchwork scenes
C majorC FF
I waltz with Grandma in my dreams
FF C majorC
My arms, my heart, my life entwined
G+G C majorC
With water from another time
CHORUS
FF C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
Newborn cry in the morning air
FF F/AF/A C majorC
The past & future are wedded there
G+G C majorC FF
This wellspring of my sons and daughters:
C majorC G/BG/B
The bone and blood of living waters
G+G C majorC FF
And, though Grandpa's hand have gone to dust,
C majorC FF
Like Grandma's pump: reduced to rust,
FF C majorC
Their stories quench my soul and mind
G+G C majorC
Like water from another time
CHORUS
