A                        E
    Half a mile from the county fair 
        D                 A
And the rain came pourin' down
A                E
    Me and Billy standin' there
       D             A
With a silver half a crown
A               E
Hands full of a fishin' rods
        D             A
And the tackle on our backs
A                   E
We just stood there gettin' wet
         D                 A
With our backs against the fence

Bm           E
    Oh, the water,
Bm           E
    Oh, the water,
Bm           E
    Oh, the water,
D                           A
    Hope it don't rain all day

[Chorus]
       A         E            D   A
And it stoned me to my soul
A                   E
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
       D      A
And it stoned me
       A         E          D   A
And it stoned me to my soul
A                   E
Stoned me just like goin' home
       D      A
And it stoned me

[Verse 2]
         A                    E
Then the rain let up, and the sun came up
        D                   A
And our bodies were gettin' dry
A            E             D              A
Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by
A                             E
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned
       D                 A
And he dropped us up the road
A                      E
We saw the swim and we jumped right in
       D                   A
Not to mention the fishing poles
Bm           E
    Oh, the water,
Bm           E
    Oh, the water,
Bm           E
    Oh, the water,
D                    A
Feel it run all over me

[Chorus]
       A         E            D   A
And it stoned me to my soul
A                   E
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
       D      A
And it stoned me
       A         E          D   A
And it stoned me to my soul
A                   E
Stoned me just like goin' home
       D      A
And it stoned me

[Verse 3]
A                            E
On the way back home we were singing a song,
        D                    A              
But our throats were getting dry
A                        E
Then we saw the man from across the road
         D               A
With the sunshine in his eyes
A                          E
Well he lived all alone in his own little home
       D                A
With a great big gallon jar
A                              E
There were bottles too, one for me and you,
       D                      A
And he said, "Hey! there you are"
Bm           E
    Oh, the water,
Bm           E
    Oh, the water,
Bm           E
    Oh, the water,
D                               A
Get it myself from the mountain stream

[Chorus]
       A         E            D   A
And it stoned me to my soul
A                   E
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
       D      A
And it stoned me
       A         E          D   A
And it stoned me to my soul
A                   E
Stoned me just like goin' home
       D      A
And it stoned me
