You should know your chords, but just in case, they are at the bottom of the tab.
OnF a crowded beach in a dFistant time F
At the heighFt of summer see aF boy of fivFe
At the water'Fs edge so Fnimble and freeF
Jumping Fover the ripples looking Fway out to sea F
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
FDeeper waterF, F
Fdeeper waterF, F
Fdeeper waterF, F
Fcalling him Fon F
(same chord progression, but now its powerchords.)
FLet's move forward nowF and the child's seventeeFn
With Fa girl in the back sFeat tugging at his jeansF
And Fshe knows what she wantsF, she guides with her handF
As aF voice cries inside himF - I'm a man, I'm a maFn!
Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on
FDeeper waterF, F
Fdeeper waterF, F
Fdeeper waterF, F
Fcalling him Fon F
FNow the man meets a womaFn unlike all the rest F
He dFoesn't know it yet but hFe's out of his depthF
And hFe thinks he can run, iFt's amatter of prideF
But Fhe keeps coming back liFke a cork on the tideF
WelFl the years hurry by and Fthe woman loves the mFan
Then Fone night in the dark shFe grabs hold of his haFnd
Says F'There, can you feel it Fkicking inside!'F
And Fthe man gets a shiver rFight up and down his Fspine
FDeeper waterF, F
Fdeeper waterF, F
Fdeeper waterF, F
Fcalling him Fon F
(back to regular chords for this verse)
FSo the clock moves aroundF and the child is a joFy
But FDeath doesn't care jusFt who it destroys F
Now Fthe woamn gets sick, Fthins down to the bonFe
She Fsays 'Where I'm going Fnext, I'm going aloFne'
FDeeper waterF, F
Fdeeper waterF, F
Fdeeper waterF, F
Fcalling him Fon F
FOn a distant beach lFonely and wild F
AtF a later time see Fa man and a chiFld
And Fthe man takes theF child up into hisF arms
TFakes her over thFe breakers F
TFo where the wateFr is calm F
FDeeper waterF, F
Fdeeper waterF, F
Fdeeper waterF, F
Fcalling him Fon F
