SITTIN' BY THE WATER'S EDGE
As recorded by Joe Brooks
(2011 release)
Capo 2nd fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Sitting by the water's edge
Em
You dipped your feet to bathe your legs
G
It’s like I'm dreaming all over again
G
I'd sail with you across the sea
Em
Storms can rage as fierce as they may please
G
They won’t phase me
[Chorus]
Am Bm
Oh, your eyes they're as pretty as the lights
C
In the city lightin' up the hearts
G
While darkness sews its thread
Bm C
Your hair is as golden as the dust
G
That has fallen from the stars
D
And sleeps on the ocean bed
G
Here we are sitting by the water's edge
D G
Here we are sitting by the water's edge
[Verse 2]
G
You picked an apple from the tree
Em
To smell the summer in its skin
G
Sweet like a breeze
G
We stay till moonlight lit the bay
Em
And danced until the rain set in
C
Falling all over again
D G
Ah ah again, Ah ah again
[Chorus]
Am Bm
Oh, your eyes they're as pretty as the lights
C
In the city lightin' up the hearts
G
While darkness sews its thread
Bm C
Your hair is as golden as the dust
G
That has fallen from the stars
D
And sleeps on the ocean bed
G
Here we are sitting by the water's edge
D G
Here we are sitting by the water's edge
[Interlude]
G C G
[Outro]

Singing hahhh ahah
