Don't Drink The Water
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret
[Intro]
E7
[Verse 1]
E7
Something got in the river, well they, they found the source
E7
Just last evening they ain't heard no more
A7 E7
I want some answers ’fore I'm leaving here today
B7 A7 E7
Don't drink the water, boy, no matter what they say
[Verse 2]
E7
Oh, but the man on the stand ain’t said nothing
E7
And he keeps talking, oh just keeps talking
A7 E7
Lord, won't you look at them guilty eyes
B7 A7 E7
Don't drink the water, something just ain't right
[Verse 3]
E7
With these sons of bitches, well, it's always something
E7
Land around us, it's all been poisoned
A7 E7
No way to say it, we in a sorry state
B7 A7 E7
Don't drink the water, boy, no it just ain't safe
[Verse 4]
E7
They started blasting and that, that brung the dust
E7
They skinned the mountains, then come the floods
A7 E7
Now nobody sleeps, nobody sleeps on a rainy night
B7 A7 E7
Don’t drink the water, boys, no don’t believe their lies
[Verse 5]
E7
'Cause up and down this valley, every town you see
E7
They’re all dealing with the same damn thing
A7 E7
Somebody tell me, where do we go from here?
B7 A7 E7
Don't drink the water, no don't you dare
[Instrumental]

[Verse 6]
E7
Now folks gettin' sick, I’m talkin' women and children
E7
Ask the man on the stand what he thinks killed 'em
A7 E7
He'll say, act of God, oh, act of God
B7 A7 E7
Say, don't drink the water, son, there's been an act of God
[Verse 7]
E7
So that man on the stand, well he's still talking
E7
No one's listening but everybody's watching
A7 E7
I swear he just might not make it home tonight
B7 A7 E7
If I hear him say "Don't drink the water" just one more time
B7 A7 E7
I said, don't drink the water, don't drink the water
