This song is one of my favourites and surprisingly easy,
it is three chords throughout, I've only listed the chords
as I'm not good with solos etc.
It is based on C, D and G, although D/F# is sometimes used:
e 0C 2D 2D/F 3G
B 1 3 3 0
G 0 2 2 0
D 2 0 0 0
A 3 - - 2
E - - 2 3
The whole song is four strums on C, then 2 on D, and 2 on G, for a better
effect alternate between strumming and picking notes.
The lyrics:
On a crowCdedD beach in a distGant time
At the heighCt of the summDer see a boGy of five
At the waterCs edge sDo nimble and frGee
Jumpin Cover the waves looking Dway out to seaG
(No wordsC) D G
Now a Cman comes uDp frGom amongst the throng
tCakes the yoDung Gboy's hands and his hand is strong
ACnd the childD feels sGafe, yeah the child feels brave
ACs he's carriedD in thGose arms up and over the waves,
DCeepDerG water
DCeepDerG water
DCeeper water.....D..G..............is calling him on
C(no wordDs) G
C(no wordDs) G
C(no wordDs) G
Lets move forward now and the childs seventeen
With a girl in the back seat tuggin at his jeans
And she knows what she wants, she guides with her hands
And a voice cries inside him, I'm a man, I'm a man
Deeper water
Deeper water
Deeper water.............................is calling him on
Now the man meets a woman unlike the rest
Well he doesn't know it yet but he is out of his depth
And he thinks he can run it's a matter of pride
But he keeps coming back just like a cork on the tide.
CDeeDper watGer
CDeeDper watGer
Now the years hurry by and the woman loves the man
One night in bed he grabs a hold of his hand
Says 'dad can you feel it kicking inside'
And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine
DCeepDerG water
DCeepDerG water
DCeepDerG water.....................is calling him on
So the clock moves on and the child is a joy
But death doesn't care just who it destroys
Now the woman gets sick
Its down through the bone
She says where I'm going, I'm going alone
CDeeDper watGer
CDeeDper watGer
On a distant beach lonely and wild
At a later time see a man and a child
And the man takes the child up into his arms
Takes her over the breakers, to where the water is calm
Repeat chords and fade.
And that's it :), I hope someone will enjoy this.
