Have A Drink Of Water Chords - Johnny Cash

Verse 1

G C In the long, hot, thirsty summer of about 32 AD D G Along a dusty highway, there came a man of Galilee C And as he went through Samaria, he stopped at Jacob's well D G And there he met a woman whose deep secrets he would tell C "Could I have a drink of water?", Soft and quietly asked he D G And she said, "Sir, I'm Samaritan, how dare you speak to me?" C He said, "If you would ask of me than either son of man D G Would give you living water and you'd never thirst again”

Chorus

D Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water G Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water D Dip into the endless well, pour it on the fires of hell G D G D Have a drink and sing and shout as the flames of hell go out D7 G Have a drink of water, everlastin', endless water

Verse 2

G C Then the woman said, "Sir, you have no way to draw out of this well D G Our father Jacob dug it and the stories it could tell C From this well drank his children and his cattle by the score D G Where is your well, Sir, tell me, that will flow forever more" C And he answered and said, "Unto her your water will go dry D And my well is everlastin', if you drink you'll never die” G C My father, God's a spirit, and he sent me unto men D G To give you living water so you'll never thirst again

Chorus

Verse 3

G C Well, there’s now a many thirstin' in this modern century D G Whose thirst could be quenched quickly by the man from Galilee C For the water flows eternal from the well that never dries D For it flows right out of Heaven where the soul never dies G So if you're hot and tired and thirstin' C And if you crave a cool, tall drink D He will pour it right out for you a lot quicker than you think G C He already knows you're thirsty so just let him come on in D G And he'll give you livin' water and you'll never thirst again

Chorus
