Water from Another Time
Chords

F    C    G  C
New mown hay on a July morn
F               F/A    C
Grandkids running through the knee-high corn
G          C     F
Sunburned nose and a scabbed-up knee
    C           G/B
From a rope on the white oak tree
    G           C     F
Just another summer's day at Grandpa's farm
   C            F
With Grandma's bucket hanging off my arm
       F            C
You know, the old pump's rusty but it works fine
      G         C
Primed with water from another time

CHORUS:
  F     C       G/B     C
It don't take much, but you gotta have some
  F         F/A   C
The old ways help the new ways come
   G              C    F
Just leave a little extra for the next in line
       F       C     G      C
They're gonna need a little water from another time


F    C      G     C
Tattered quilt on the goose-down bed
    F             F/A   C
"Every stitch tells a story," my Grandma said
  G           C     F
Her mama's nightgown, her grandpa's pants
    C                 G/B
And the dress she wore to her high school dance
  G            C     F
Now wrapped at night in its patchwork scenes
 C            F
I waltz with Grandma in my dreams
  F         C
My arms, my heart, my life entwined
   G           C
With water from another time


CHORUS


F    C     G/B   C
Newborn cry in the morning air
  F         F/A  C
The past & future are wedded there
   G        C    F
This wellspring of my sons and daughters:
  C            G/B
The bone and blood of living waters
      G          C    F
And, though Grandpa's hand have gone to dust,
   C        F
Like Grandma's pump: reduced to rust,
   F         C
Their stories quench my soul and mind
   G           C
Like water from another time


CHORUS
