"WATER OF LOVE" off LP "Dire Straits"(1978)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Les Gibson

Tuning: Standard

This is most probably played in some open tuning, but I couldnt tab it that
way, so I did it in standard. its more convenient, and sounds fine anyway.

There are 3 guitar parts: strumming chords in background, slide, and clean
electric guitar.

[D]High and dry in the long hot day
[D]Lost and lonely in every way
Got the [Am]flats all around me, sky up above,
[D]Yes, I need a little water of love

--VERSE 2:

[D]I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
[D]Crying out for some soothing rain
[Am]I believe I've taken enough,
[D]I need a little water of love

-CHORUS:

[Am7]Water of love deep in the ground,
but there a[G]int no water here [D]to be found
[Am7]Some day baby when the river runs free,
It's gonna c[G]arry that wate[D]r of love to me

--VERSE 4:

[D]Once I had a woman I could call my own,

[Am]Once there was a river now there's a stone
[D]You know it's evil when you're living alone

--CHORUS X 2

--SECOND SLIDE SOLO: variation on first, to fade. Make it your own!

There are fills between the lines of the verse and the chorus that are pretty
similar to the intro parts.

Enjoy, and please rate/comment.
