Verse
G	       Em		    C		       G
Oh people, look around you the signs are everywhere
C		     G		D               C     D                  Em 
You've left it for somebody other than you to be the one to care
G			     Em		       C			       D
You're lost inside your houses there's no time to find you now
G					     D
While your walls are burning and your towers are turning
Em 						C			         G
I'm going to leave you here and try to get down to the sea somehow
D

Verse
G			     Em			       C			          G
The road is filled with homeless souls every woman, child and man
C		G       D	        C		       D		        Em
Who have no idea where they will go but they'll help you if they can
G		          Em				     C				D
Now everyone must have some thought that's going to pull them through somehow
G			       D
While the fires are raging hotter and hotter
Em					         C				    G
But the sisters of the sun are going to rock me on the water now

Chorus
D		  C
Rock me on the water
C		 G	       D	        C
Sister will you soothe my fevered brow
G	    D        Em
Rock me on the water
A
I'll get down to the sea somehow
C
(I'll get down to the sea somehow)

Oh people, look among you it's there your hope must lie
C		      G		D	           C	     D              Em
There's a sea bird above you gliding in one place like Jesus in the sky
G		        Em			       C			D
We all must do the best we can and then hang on to that gospel plow
G				D
When my life is over, and I stand before the father
Em					 C
But the sisters of the sun are going to rock me on the water now

Sister will you soothe my fevered brow

Rock me on the water

Maybe I'll remember

The wind is with me now
      G           D        C
So rock me on the water
A
I'll get down to the sea somehow
C
I'll get down to the sea somehow
G             D        C           G
Rock me on the water
D	    C
Rock me now

Rock me on the water
D	    C
Rock me now
