A              C
Take the water blue water
D
Can you see how far it is from flowin' free
A                  E
Can we let it just be
          C                               D
Without a feelin' of bein' just a little guilty
 A    C  A
Alright
A              C           D
Get your water green water wipe your eyes in it

Still isn't very clear
A                              E
It wouldn't be wise to get too near
         C                      D      A
Save the cause of your own true fear
         D             C                    D          A  
Yes I remember when it turned the bend in a natural way
               D           C
It seems there was a time in my mind
        D                    A
When it caught the light of day
          C               D
I want to see it talkin' back to the sun
          C                D              A
I need to feel it wild and on the run

            D           C

        D                   A

          C              D
I want to see it talkin' back to the sun
           C               D      A
I need to feel it wild and on the run
A                          C
C'mon and get your water - blue water
D                                      A
Can we settle for what you can give
A                     E
Sure and behold you're without the need to live
C                                 D
And a'changin' wind may bring you back to blue again
C                             D         A
I'm havin' a time tellin' my children when
