And It Stoned Me

D C G Half a mile from the county fair and the rain came pourin’ down

G D C G Me & Billy standing there with a silver half a crown

G D C G Hands were full of fishing rods, with the tackle on our backs

G D C G We just stood there getting wet, with our backs against the fence

Chorus:  Am D Am D Am D Oh, the water, oh, the water, oh the water

Em D Hope it don’t rain all day

G C C-G G D And it stoned me to my soul, stoned me just like jelly roll

C – G And it stoned me

G C C-G G D And it stoned me to my soul, stoned me just like goin’ home

C – G And it stoned me

G D C G Then the rain let up and the sun came up and we were getting dry

G D C G Almost glad a pick up truck nearly passed us by

G D C G So we jumped right in & the driver grinned & he dropped us up the road

G D C G Where we looked at the swim & we jumped right in, not to mention fishing poles

Chorus : Oh, the water, oh, the water, oh the water   Em D Let it run all over me

G C C-G G D And it stoned me to my soul, stoned me just like jelly roll

C – G And it stoned me

G C C-G G D And it stoned me to my soul, stoned me just like goin’ home

C – G And it stoned me

G D C G On the way back home we sang a song, but our throats were getting dry

G D C G Then we saw the man from across the road with the sunshine in his eye

G D C G But he lived all alone in his own little home with a great big gallon jar

G D C G There were bottles too, one for me & you, and he said “Hey, there you are”

Chorus: Am D Am D Am D Oh, the water, oh, the water, oh the water

Em D Get it myself from the mountain stream
