Standard (EADGBE)
There is a spring not far from here
The water runs both sweet and clear
Both sweet and clear and co - old
Could crack your bones with veins of gold
I stood a- wagging at the tap
Just a- waiting on the lagging, rising F sap
I held the cold tin ladle to my lip
At the shrine of the Thousand Eyes I lowered my eyes do sip
What a beautiful day to catch my drift
Or be caught up in it
You want your love? Love, come and get your love
I only took it back because I thought you didn't
This progression is then repeated, followed by this:
All day you're hassling me with tri - ifles
Black nose of the dog as cold as a rifle
Indicating with a nudge, god, no god, god, no god
Sweet appraising eye of the dog, blink once if god, twice if no god
Then the first progression begins again to finish the song out, starting on the C-
minor in the second section.
