[Verse 1]
C
When the well runs dry
F G
And the food runs out
C
And the words you speak
F G
Are the only things that touch your mouth
C
Will you be content
F G
With the stories told
C
Of your days of youth
F G
To your days of old
[Chorus]
C
Oh my, oh me
F G
Tonight my darling we sing
C
We'll shout, on high
F G
As we wait for the well to run dry
[Post-Chorus]
| C | C | F | G |
[Verse 2]
C
See when the well runs dry
F G
On the western plains
C
And the storm rolls in
F G
Like a hurricane of gray
C
And the power goes
F G
And you're all alone
C
Are you satisfied
F G
When the well runs dry
C
Tell me are you satisfied
F G
When the well runs dry
[Chorus]
C
Oh my, oh me
F G
Tonight my darling we sing
C
We'll shout, on high
F G
As we wait for the well to run dry
C
Oh my, oh me
F G
Tonight my darling we sing
C
We'll shout, on high
F G
As we wait for the well to run dry
[Instrumental]

C
Oh my, oh me
F G
Tonight my darling we sing
C
We'll shout, on high
F G
As we wait for the well to run dry
