Verse 1:
E5                         D5          E5  D5
In the easy chair with my boots on
       E5             D5      E5  D5
Melted whiskey in my hand
  E5                             D5                      E5  D5
I couldn't have been asleep for more than three hours
        E5           D5      E5  D5
Time to go to work again
     E5               D5         E5  D5  A5
Once more I beat the sunrise
              E5                 D5      E5  D5  A5
And there's a dark breeze at my door
          E5                      D5            E5  D5  A5
Raise the water from the well up to my face
            E5              D5       E5  D5  A5
How could a man like me be poor?


Chorus:
E5                  A5       G5
As long as there's water
F#5     F5   E5       E5  D5
Chilly wet water
A5                      G5  F#5    F5    E5       E5  D5
   Gimme some of that     cool, cool water


Verse 2:
Well, my horse's eyes are glassy
He breathed the city in his lungs last night
I lead his natural body
To the trough to regain his might
Red rooster crow them blues here
That Old Blue he round the bull
And the mornin's crying rays of sunrise
It hasn't rained for three weeks full

(Chorus)

(Solo)

Verse 3:
Venus light is rising
I lay my buckets inside the shed
And there's a man I see - a stranger
Leaning on the gate outside my fence
Said "I'm riding out from the city
Where they started holding water back last night
I was hoping I could get a drink from your well
Before I ride on to another city tonight"
Before I ride on to another city tonight
Before I ride on to another city tonight

E5      D5     E5        D5            E5       D5  A5
Chilly well,   chilly well, chilly water

Cool well, chilly well water

Before I ride on

Ending:
E5  >  F#5  >  G5  >  A5   (1 measure per chord)

A5  >  G5  >  F#5  F5  E5   (as in the chorus)
