[Verse]
G D
Half a mile from the county fair,
C G
and the rain came pouring down
G D
Me and Billy standing there
C G
with a silver half a crown
G D
Hands full of fishing gear,
C G
and the tackle on our backs
G D
We just stood there getting wet,
C G
with our backs against the fence
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
Oh, the water
Am D
Oh, the water
Am D Em~
Oh, the water
D
Hope it don't rain all day
[Chorus]
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 going home
Em G
And it stoned me
[Verse]
G D
And the rain let up, and the sun came out,
C G
we were getting dry
G D
Almost glad a pickup truck
C G
nearly passed us by
G D
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned
C G
and he dropped us up the road
G D
We looked at the swim, and we jumped right in
C G
not to mention fishing poles
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
Oh, the water
Am D
Oh, the water
Am D Em~
Oh, the water
D
Let it run all over me
[Chorus]
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 going home
Em G
And it stoned me
[Solo]
G D C G 4x
Am D 3x
Em~

[Verse]
G D
On the way back home we sang a song,
C G
but our throats were getting dry
G D
Then we saw the man from across the road
C G
with the sunshine in his eyes
G D
Well he lived all alone in his own little home
C G
with a great big gallon jar
G D
There were bottles too, one for me and you,
C G
and he said "Hey there you are"
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
Oh, the water
Am D
Oh, the water
Am D Em~
Oh, the water
D
Get it myself from the mountain stream
[Chorus]
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 going home
Em G
And it stoned me
[Chorus]
G C G
And it stoned me to my soul

Stoned me just like jelly roll

And it stoned me
