BRING ME SOME WATER

melissa etheridge

AmAm Piano Chord 

tonight I feel so weak

but all in love is fair

I turn the other cheek

(stop)
And I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night air

DD Piano Chord 

and I know you're only human

AmAm Piano Chord 

And I haven't got talking room

DD Piano Chord 

But tonight while I'm makinng excuses

Em   (stop)
Some other woman is making love to you

(Chorus)

AmAm Piano Chord 
        GG Piano Chord 
           DD Piano Chord 

Somebody bring me some water

AmAm Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 
            DD Piano Chord 

Can't you see I'm burning alive

AmAm Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 
              DD Piano Chord 

Can't you see my baby's got another lover

EmEm Piano Chord 

I don't know how I'm gonna surive

AmAm Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
             DD Piano Chord 

Somebody bring me some water

AmAm Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 
             DD Piano Chord 

Can't you see it's out of control

AmAm Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 
                DD Piano Chord 

Baby's got my heart baby's got my mind

EmEm Piano Chord 

But tonight the sweet devil, sweet devil's got my soul

when will this aching pass
when will the night be through
I want to hear the breaking glass
I only feel the steel of the red hot truth
And I'd do anything to get it out of my mind
I need some insanity that temporary kind
tell me how will I ever be the same
when I know that woman is wispering you name

Chorus

Oh, devil's got my soul

Chorus

Please correct, if it isn't right...

So I will. I think it sounds better when you play E instead of Em, and
an A chord instead of Am. Play the A chord like this:

E---|---|---|-X-|--
A---|---|---|-X-|--
D---|-X-|---|---|--
G---|-X-|---|---|--
B---|---|---|---|--
E---|---|---|---|--

Use your first finger on the G and D string. Pluck the cords. Listen to
the song. If you play it like this, you can make the little 4-note riff
(rather fast) at the end of each line with your left hand (1st finger),
by pulling off the G and D strings. If I'm not clear, e-mail me.
Oh, another thing. In the chorus, use D and Dsus4:
D     Dsus4 D(let ring shortly)

Hope this helps.
