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 are full of fishing rods, and the tackle on our backs
G                   D                     C                 G
We just stood there getting wet, with our backs against the fence


[Pre-Chorus]

Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D       Em
Oh, the water
                            D
Hope it don't rain all day


[Chorus]

       G         C           G
And it stoned me to my soul
G                   D
Stoned me just like jelly roll
       Em     G
And it stoned me
       G         C            G
And it stoned me to my soul
G                   D
Stoned me just like going home
       Em     G
And it stoned me


[Verse]

        G                    D                C                G
And the rain let up, and the sun came up, and we were getting dry
G              D            C               G
  Almost let a pickup truck nearly pass us by
      G                       D
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned
       C                 G
And he dropped us up the road
       G                          D
And we looked at the swim, and we jumped right in
       C               G
Not to mention fishing poles


[Pre-Chorus]

Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D       Em
Oh, the water
                        D
Let it run all over me


[Chorus]

       G         C           G
And it stoned me to my soul
G                   D
Stoned me just like jelly roll
       Em     G
And it stoned me
       G         C            G
And it stoned me to my soul
G                   D
Stoned me just like going home
       Em     G
And it stoned me


[Instrumental Verse]

G    D    C    G      x4

Am   D    Am   D   Am   D
Em        D


[Verse]

       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"


[Pre-Chorus]

Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D       Em
Oh, the water
                                 D
Get it myself from the mountain stream


[Chorus]

       G         C           G
And it stoned me to my soul
G                   D
Stoned me just like jelly roll
       Em     G
And it stoned me
       G         C            G
And it stoned me to my soul
G                   D
Stoned me just like going home
       Em     G
And it stoned me

       G         C           G
And it stoned me to my soul
G                   D
Stoned me just like jelly roll
       Em     G
And it stoned me
       G         C                  G
And it stoned        me to my soul
G                         D
Stoned me just like going home
       Em     G
And it stoned me
