The Floating Men - Over the wateree

No, I really couldn’t^D stay What with ^Bmall of these meetings to^F# make I keep wa^Gking up naked, c^Alawed up, and sore in a godd^Dess’s bed every da^Ay I’ll tak^De part of the blame If I s^Bmeem a little lost in a da^F#ze Every t^Gime I think I got my ^Afeet on the ground I look d^Down and the ground moves ^Aaway It goes shaking aw^Bmay I look down and ^Athe ground moves aw^Gay Why the ^Bmhell would I want any ^Dmoney? With all these ^Bmacres of anger to ^Dfarm, A quiet unders^Bmtanding with manh^Dood, and a fist full of fea^Emthers and y^Aarn?

I’^Emm wading^F# over the^G Wateree To l^Emay me d^F#own in the shade of the ^Gtrees In the sh^Aade of the trees ^D

I’ve been^D speaking in tongues With the ^Bmbreath of gods in my ^F#lungs I’ve bee^Gn channeling Ponce d^Ae Leon Swallowing ^Dsunlight, and coming u^Andone I remember how ^Dtenderness tastes

I can ^Bmstill see the smile on her ^F#face When she ^Gspotted me drunk on the ^Atrunk of the car in Kent^Ducky on the day of the ^Arace Laughing "My, wh^Bmat a waste!" Howling &^Aquot;My, what a pit^Giful waste!"

Why the ^Bmhell would I want any ^Dwhiskey? When I done ^Bmshot out the lights on the ^Dstreet With a ^Bmkerosene lantern in one ^Dhand and The mysteries of ^Emmanhood clamped in my ^Ateeth

I’^Emm wading^F# over the^G Wateree To l^Emay me d^F#own in the shade of the ^Gtrees In the sh^Aade of the trees ^D

In the dark at the ^Dtop of the stairs We were ^Bmway to wasted to ^F#care Our nai^Gveté beaded like^A sweat on the walls, hell, it ^Dhung like honey in the ^Aair But, hey, what’s^D a memory or two

In the ^Bmcycle of planets and ^F#moons? If I cam^Ge here to claim the ^Alifeless remains of my ^Dwildest dreams, I should ^Aknow what to do I ought to know what^Bm to do I ^Ashould know what to^G do

Why the ^Bmhell would I want Mar^F#ijuana? With all these moun^Gtains of madness to m^Aove When the ^BmMartian marauders come ^F#marching they'll march without manho^God stuck to their s^Ahoes

I’^Emm wading^F# over the^G Wateree To l^Emay me d^F#own in the shade of the ^Gtrees In the sh^Aade of the trees ^D
