[Refrão]
 
D 
Don't go near the water 
G                      D 
Don't you think it's sad 
D 
What's happened to the water 
G              A    D 
Our water's going bad 


verse 1: 
D         D/C#    D/B         D/A 
Oceans, rivers, lakes and streams 
G                          D 
Have all been touched by man 
D             D/C#    D/B    D/A 
The poison floating out to sea 
G                A       D 
Now threatens life on land 


[Refrão]
 
D 
Don't go near the water 
G          D 
Ain't it sad 
D 
What's happened to the water 
G            D 
It's going bad 


Bridge: 
G                            D                   Bm 
Don't go near the water  don't go near the water 
D                                       Bm 
Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath 
D                        Bm 
So let's avoid an ecological aftermath 
D                Bm                    D 
Beginning with me, beginning with you 


[Refrão]
 
D          D/C#      D/B   D/A 
Don't go near the water 
G               D 
To do it any wrong 
D           D/C#       D/B   D/A 
To be cool with the water 
    G           A         D 
Is the message of this song 


Outro: 
D 
Let's all help the water 
G         D 
Right away 
D 
Do what we can and ought to 
G               D 
Let's start today
