[Verso 1]

G                     C  G 
I hate this old place 
G                     C  G 
And what it represents 
G                     C  G 
And I hate who I was 
G                       C  G 
And who I ended up since 
G                         Am  D/F#           G 
But if you learned how to swim in case you'd drowned 


 
[Refrão]

G                     Am  D/F# 
Don't ask her for the water 
                         G    C  G  C 
Cause she'll swallow you down 



[Verso 2]

G                           C  G 
And she's ten miles of peace 
G                         C  G 
And the hardest of nights 
G                        C  G 
And her belfry's got arch 
G                         C  G 
But her rooftops all right 
G                     Am  D/F# 
But down here in the sewer 
               G   C  G 
I'm smelling a rat 



[Refrão]

G                     Am      Bb 
Don't ask her for the Whiskey 
          D/F#       G  C  F6sus2  C  G  C 
Cause her waters all that 


[Verso 3]

 
G                       C  G 
And what horses we rode 
G                         C  G 
Through what sombre fields 
G                       C  G 
With our lovers at war 
G                       C  G 
And the dust on their heels 
G                         C  D 
And the infidels screamed, 
G                   C  G 
"it's all but a lie" 



[Refrão]

G                     Am  D/F# 
Don't ask her for the water, 
                          G    C  G  C 
Cause she'll teach you to cry 
G                     Am  D/F# 
Don't ask her for the water 
                         G    C  G  G  C  G  G  C  F6sus2  C  G  C 
Cause she'll teach you to cry 



[Verso 4]

G                       C  G 
And her weapon of choice, 
G                         C  G 
Is a red-patterned dress 
G                         C  G 
And a sac full of stones 
G                         C  G 
With her hands on her chest 
G                         C  G 
And a book full of quotes 
G                         C  G 
And a tight fastened lip 



[Refrão]

G                     Am  D/F# 
Don't ask her for the water 
                          G    C  G  C 
Cause you'll sink like a ship 
G                     Am  D/F# 
Don't ask her for the water 
                         G    C  G 
Cause you'll sink like a ship
