[VERSE 1:]
F C G
I'm just an ordinary North Country man
F C G
I had a dream that bid me come here
F C G
Although naïve, I thought that I'd make my way
F C G
But fair-weather friends is all that I had
[VERSE 2:]
F C G
They took from me all that I had to give
F C G
Replenished me with their reason
F C G
Don't you talk to me about your sacrifice
F C G
Then ask of me if I'm leaving
[CHORUS:]
C F G
I'm going down to the water today
C F ~ ~ C G
I've got to wash away my sorrow
C F G
I'm going down to the water today
C F ~ D G
Gotta get me clean by tomorrow___
[VERSE 3:]
F C G
I'm just an ordinary North Country man
F C G
My dream has edges that are fading
F C G
This year that's passed, it's not such a waste
F C G
It's just a hard way to be learning
[VERSE 4:]
F C G
We've got no choice in the life that we're born to
F C G
Our only choosing, is in its living
F C G
Now people in their own time, will show just what they are
F C G
I hope this time, I know who I am
[CHORUS:]
C F G
I'm going down to the water today
