You should know your chords, but just in case, they are at the bottom of the tab.
OnC a crowded beach in a dDistant time G
At the heighCt of summer see aD boy of fivGe
At the water'Cs edge so Dnimble and freeG
Jumping Cover the ripples looking Dway out to sea G
Now a man comes up from amoungst the throng
Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong
And the child feels safe, yeah the child feels brave
As he's carried in those arems up and over the waves
CDeeper waterD, G
Cdeeper waterD, G
Cdeeper waterD, G
Ccalling him Don G
(same chord progression, but now its powerchords.)
CLet's move forward nowD and the child's seventeeGn
With Ca girl in the back sDeat tugging at his jeansG
And Cshe knows what she wantsD, she guides with her handG
As aC voice cries inside himD - I'm a man, I'm a maGn!
Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on
CDeeper waterD, G
Cdeeper waterD, G
Cdeeper waterD, G
Ccalling him Don G
CNow the man meets a womaDn unlike all the rest G
He dCoesn't know it yet but hDe's out of his depthG
And hCe thinks he can run, iDt's amatter of prideG
But Che keeps coming back liDke a cork on the tideG
WelCl the years hurry by and Dthe woman loves the mGan
Then Cone night in the dark shDe grabs hold of his haGnd
Says C'There, can you feel it Dkicking inside!'G
And Cthe man gets a shiver rDight up and down his Gspine
CDeeper waterD, G
Cdeeper waterD, G
Cdeeper waterD, G
Ccalling him Don G
(back to regular chords for this verse)
CSo the clock moves aroundD and the child is a joGy
But CDeath doesn't care jusDt who it destroys G
Now Cthe woamn gets sick, Dthins down to the bonGe
She Csays 'Where I'm going Dnext, I'm going aloGne'
CDeeper waterD, G
Cdeeper waterD, G
Cdeeper waterD, G
Ccalling him Don G
COn a distant beach lDonely and wild G
AtC a later time see Da man and a chiGld
And Cthe man takes theD child up into hisG arms
TCakes her over thDe breakers G
TCo where the wateDr is calm G
CDeeper waterD, G
Cdeeper waterD, G
Cdeeper waterD, G
Ccalling him Don G
