Billy Waters
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
F C Dm C A# C
[Verse 1]
F Dm C
Here stand I sand between my toes
A# C
Longing for the home that I have never known
F Dm C
Worn down shoes and worn down clothes
A# Dm C
And no where to lay down my worn down bones
A# C F
Nowhere to lay down my bones
Dm A# F
There stands Billy a gleam in his eye
Dm A# C
One leg short and glass drunk dry
Dm F Dm F
He smells like sea shells sleeps under the sky
A# F C
And he''ll play that tune til the day he dies
A# C F
He''ll play that tune til the day he dies
[Chorus]
Dm F A# F
Oh roll you rolling waters
Dm
And Billy, play us a tune
A# F
Won''t you play it for me
A# Dm
I long for the sea
A# F C
And nobody plays like you, like you
A# C F
Nobody plays like you
[Instrumental]
F C Dm C A# C F
[Verse 2]
F C Dm C
It''s sixteen years since we sailed the salt seas
A# F C
And time''s been no friend to you or to me
F Dm C
It''s sixteen years since we sailed to the sun
A# F C
And Billy what have we done, done, done
A# C F
Billy what have we done?
Dm A# F
Oh, play to me that melody
Dm A# C
Of waters sweet and waters deep
Dm F Dm F
It rolls me away to the rolling waves
A# F C
It rolls me down to my sleep
A# C F
It rolls me down to my sleep
[Outro]
Dm F A# F
Oh roll you rolling waters
Dm
And Billy, play us a tune
A# F
Won''t you play it for me
A# Dm
I long for the sea
A# F C
And nobody plays like you, like you
A# C F
Nobody plays like you
