Water Works Fine Chords & Lyrics - Eric Bibb

[VERSE 1]
Back in 198[A]3, Sonny Terry said to [E]me:
When I put the bottle [E]down
My friends stopped comin' [A]'round

They were comin' for my[A] whiskey
My malt liquor an' [E]wine
Since I left it all [E]behind, water works [A]fine

[CHORUS]
Water works [A]fine - pure an' [E]sweet
It's a natural [E]treat - like a good woman's [A]love

[VERSE 2]
One crazy [A]night we drank tequila like [E]beer
My recollection's un[E]clear -
Ya know I felt like [A]dyin'

My face in the m[A]irror
Scared the devil outa [E]me
Made a blind man s[E]ee - water works f[A]ine

[CHORUS]
Water works f[A]ine - pure an' s[E]weet
It's a natural t[E]reat - like a good woman's l[A]ove
Water works f[A]ine - served up n[E]eat
Well, it's a natural t[E]reat - like a good woman's l[A]ove

[SOLO]

[VERSE 3]
Hung-over, hung[A] -up
- drownin' in a c[E]up
I was feelin' kinda s[E]trange -
'Bout ready for a c[A]hange
I was boozin' my m[A]ind,
weavin' over the l[E]ine
When I saw the road sign sa[E]yin'
water works f[A]ine

[CHORUS]
Water works f[A]ine
- so pure an' s[E]weet
It's a natural t[E]reat
- like a good woman's l[A]ove

Water works f[A]ine
- best cure for the [E]heat
From your head to your f[E]eet
- Like a good woman's l[A]ove

Water works f[A]ine
- tastes pure an' s[E]weet
Every day of the w[E]eek
- like a good woman's l[A]ove

Water works f[A]ine
- well, it's a natural t[E]reat
Make me wanna dip my b[E]eak -
Like a good woman's l[A]ove
