Water From The River by Joe Stamm
Water From The River
Tuning:E B E G# B E
Key:E
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
There's an image of my mother
B
Fading in the dust
E
Rising up behind a Greyhound
A E
Painted on a bus
E
Not sure if it's a memory
B
Or just the picture Daddy drew
E
When I'd ask about the woman
A E
I don't think I ever knew
[Chorus]
B
Water from the river
A E
Whiskey from a still
Flowing through the blood that I am
A E
Spilling in this field
[Verse 2]
E
Daddy never owned the dirt
B
Beneath his finger nails
E
The crops he grew were just enough
A E
To cover all our bills
E
He swore one day he'd buy that land
B
So he cooked up in the hills
E
Men from up the river
A E
Paid to keep their bottles filled
[Chorus]
B
Water from the river
A E
Whiskey from a still
Flowing through the blood that I am
A E
Spilling in this field
[Solo]
B A E E A E E
[Bridge]
A
When Daddy took his final breath
E B
Before his heart went still
E
He handed me a paper
A E
The deed to this old field
[Verse 3]
E
He said, You got blue eyes like your mother
A B
But a stay-put soul like me
E
Now we'll own the land we've bled in
A E
The land our bones will lie beneath
[Chorus]
B
Water from the river
A E
Whiskey from a still
Flowing through the blood that I am
A E
Spilling in this field
[Solo]
B A E E A E E
