Bring Me Some Water by Melissa Etheridge
Bring Me Some Water
[Verse]
Am
tonight I feel so weak
but all in love is fair
I turn the other cheek
(stop)
And I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night air
D
and I know you''re only human
Am
And I haven''t got talking room
D
But tonight while I''m makinng excuses
Em (stop)
Some other woman is making love to you
[Chorus]
Am G D
Somebody bring me some water
Am G D
Can''t you see I''m burning alive
Am G D
Can''t you see my baby''s got another lover
Em
I don''t know how I''m gonna surive
Am G D
Somebody bring me some water
Am G D
Can''t you see it''s out of control
Am G D
Baby''s got my heart baby''s got my mind
Em
But tonight the sweet devil, sweet devil''s got my soul
when will this aching pass
when will the night be through
I want to hear the breaking glass
I only feel the steel of the red hot truth
And I''d do anything to get it out of my mind
I need some insanity that temporary kind
tell me how will I ever be the same
when I know that woman is wispering you name
[Chorus]
Oh, devil''s got my soul
[Chorus]
So I will. I think it sounds better when you play E instead of Em, and
an A chord instead of Am. Play the A chord like this:
E---|---|---|-X-|--|
A---|---|---|-X-|--|
D---|-X-|---|---|--|
G---|-X-|---|---|--|
B---|---|---|---|--|
E---|---|---|---|--|
Use your first finger on the G and D string. Pluck the cords. Listen to
the song. If you play it like this, you can make the little 4-note riff
(rather fast) at the end of each line with your left hand (1st finger)
Oh, another thing. In the chorus, use D and Dsus4:
D Dsus4 D(let ring shortly)
