The Well
View chords used in this chart
So I threw a bottle into the woods
Em
And then I felt bad
Em
For the doe paw
Em A
And the rabbit paw
A
So I went looking for the pieces
A
Of the bottle that I threw
A Em
Because I couldn't work
[Verse 2]
Em
I went deep
A
Further than i could throw
A Em
And i came upon an old abandoned well
A
All boarded over
A Em
With a drip hanging from the bucket still
Em
Well I watched that drip but it would not drop
Em A
I watched that drip but it would not drop
A
I knew what I had to do
A Em
Had to pull those boards off the well
[Verse 3]
Em
When I got the boards off
Em A
I stared into the black black black
A
And you know I had to yell
A Em
Just to get my voice back
[Chorus]
A
I guess everybody has their own thing
A Em
That they yell into a well
A
I gave it a coupla hoots
A
A hello
Em
And a fuck all y'all
A
I guess everybody has their own thing
A Em
That they yell into a well
[Verse 4]
Em
And as I stood like that
Em A
Staring into the black black black
A
I felt a cool wet kiss
Em
On the back of my neck
Em
Dang
A
I knew if I stood up
A
The drip would roll down my back
A E
Into no man's land
[Verse 5]
Em
So I stayed like that
Em
Staring into the black black black
Em
Well they say black is all colours at once
Em
So I gave it my red rage my yellow streak
Em
The greenest parts of me
A Em
And my blues I knew just what I had to do
Em
I had to turn around and go back
Em
And let that drip roll down my back
A Em
And I felt so bad about that
A
But wouldn't you know
A
When I turned to go
A
Another drip was forming
A
On the bottom of the bucket
A Em
And I felt so good about that
[Outro]
Em
