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 full of fishing gear, and the tackle on our backs
G D C G
We just stood there getting wet, with our backs against the fence
Am D
Oh, the water
Am D
Oh, the water
Am D Em
Oh, the water
D
Hope it don't rain all day
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 D C G
The rain let up, the sun came out, and we was getting dry
G D C G
Almost glad a pickup truck nearly passed us by
G D
We jumped right in the driver grinned
C G
And he dropped us up the road
G D
We looked at the swim, we jumped right in
C G
Not to mention fishing poles
Am D
Oh, the water
Am D
Oh, the water
Am D Em
Oh, the water
D
Let it run all over 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
G D C G
On the way back home we sang a song, but our throats was 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, he said "hey there you are"
Am D
Oh, the water
Am D
Oh, the water
Am D Em
Oh, the water
D
Drew it myself from the mountain stream
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
