G     D    C     G
G     D    C     G

                     D                    C                 G
Half a mile from the county fair, and the rain came pouring down
G            D                     C             G
Me and Billy standing there with a silver half a crown
G             D                     C             G
Hands full of fishing gear, and the tackle on our backs
G                   D                     C                 G
We just stood there getting wet, with our backs against the fence

Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D       Em
Oh, the water
                        D (let ring)
Let it run all over me
G                C           
And it stoned me to my soul
G                   D
Stoned me just like jelly roll
       Em     G
And it stoned me
G                C          
And it stoned me to my soul
G              D
Stoned me just going home
       Em     G
And it stoned me


G                    D                     C                 G
And the rain let up, and the sun came out, we were getting dry
G             D            C                G
Almost glad a pickup truck nearly passed us by
G     D                       C                     G
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned and he dropped us up the road
G                      D                             C               G
We looked at the swim, and we jumped right in not to mention fishing poles

Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D       Em
Oh, the water

G                    D                       C                    G
On the way back home we sang a song, but our throats were getting dry
G                        D                        C                   . . .G
Then we saw the man from across the road with the sunshine in his eyes
G       D                       C                     G
Well he lived all alone in his own little home with a great big gallon jar
G                       D                   C           G
There were bottles too, one for me and you, and he said "Hey there you are"

Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D       Em
Oh, the water

And It Stoned Me

You're the apple of my eye,
Ice cream in my cherry pie, pie.
She's just sixteen and she's not yet grown,
She never goes out on her own.
She lives way up on the Avenue of Trees,
Where I chanced to walk in the cool night breeze.
And I, I see her face, her smile, her hair,
I cry, "Oh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh."

To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
       Em                  G        D
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook my self

Let it all hang out, baby, let it all hang out
And ev?ry time you look that way
Honey chile, you make my day
Let it all hang out, let it all hang out

Intro: F Bb x6

Verse 1
      F                     Bb
They mocked me when I was singing the songs
          F                           Bb
Trying to get back to something more simple than we have
     Bb                C            F    Bb
They mocked me cos I told it like it was
F                 Bb
Wrote about disappointment and greed
       F                            Bb
Wrote about what we really didn't need in our lives
         C             F
Make us feel alive and whole


Chorus:
    Bb                 C                       F
    Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand
    Bb              C                F
    And straight reality is always cold
    A7                                      D
    Saying something hard edged is off the wall
    G                      C
    And it might seem too bold

Verse 2:

F                             Bb
Mocked me when it got out of hand
F                     Bb
Nobody tried to understand
               Bb         C               F
Now we got to keep it simple and that's that

Solo: F Bb F Bb Bb C F x2

CHORUS
Verse 3:
          F                 Bb
Well I'm down here on the running board
F                     Bb
Where I've been many times before
        Bb                    C         F
But we got to keep it simple to save ourselves
F                          Bb
Mocked me when I tried to get back
           F                           Bb
Said the train was completely off the track
       Bb                              C               F
And we got to get back to something simple to save ourselves


Bridge:

Dm             Bb                      C                  F
Whoa we got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves
Dm   Bb                              C                 F
Well got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves

Ya sé qué pasa aquí

C                                F  
Hey, ¿qué fortachón el cielo elevó?

Cuando eras de esta altura, éste
C                  C
  Si la noche enfrió, 
                  F
¿quién fue quien fuego te llevó?
       A#          
¿Qué, alguien me nombró? 
C              C       F
  Oh, yo sólo lazo el sol
          A#                    C
De nada, para estirar tu diversión

Brisa yo hago soplar, de nada, 
   A#           C
y así tus velas elevar

por las islas que traje del mar
              F                  C
No ruegues jamás, nunca más, de nada
         E7                     Am
¡Ha! Genial es mi manera de servir, 
    F
de nada, 
    C
de nada

[Parte Rap]
C
De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

[Coro 3]

Por el mundo especial que doy
                 F           C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)

De nada hablaré, que ya me voy
          F            C
Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)
       E7             Am
Pues quiero esa barca ya
             F          C
Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)
       E7               Am
Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

King Creole

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
