Chords for Jack Jones aka Irwin Thomas_"Lead Me To Water"

with _ _ LVs and _ um_
I want this one signed.
Oh, sign it for her.
Thank you.
I got a sharpie in the [N] old_ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Don't make me laugh on that one. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I love vinyl.
I never_
it never [G#m] left me in my world.
_ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ Um_
_ _ _ Um_
_ _ So it's always a real, real _ treat to see it and I'm more than happy to sign it.
Even [E] though when I do I feel like I'm kind of ruining it somehow.
It's weird.
[C#] But _ _ anyway_
_ _ Oh, [E] a little funny story about this song.
[C#] So for those of you who are new with Richard Marx,
_ maybe some of you came and saw _ those shows that [G] where I was [C#] playing with him which was very [G#] fun.
_ Absolute pleasure.
I mean I grew [G]
up, you know, listening to his music and um_ _ _
[N] And for me it was just like, _ excuse me, one of those dream session guitar player gigs.
And you know, after all, as a young kid growing up playing guitar that was what I really wanted
to do.
I never really wanted to be a singer in a [C#] band.
I just thought if I sang a little bit
_ _ [B] I'd get the gig playing guitar for someone over the other guy [C#] who couldn't sing. _ _ _
And when the gig and the songs [G] came up, you know, to be the lead singer, I just said yes
because I would have done anything to play in another band with Virgil.
_ _ [C#] So that's how that
kind of unfolded.
Anyway, I digress.
_ So um, Richard [G#] Marx.
_ [C] So we're rehearsing, we're rehearsing the
[D] band and we're waiting for Richard to arrive.
So we're just playing through the songs and
he walks in [G#] to the rehearsal room and [N] he's singing this next song that I'm about to play for him.
_ _ [Gm] And I'm like, _ what?
[B] _ _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
What?
_ _ Yes. _ _ _
_ _ [N] Anyway, I was just like, how _ do you even know this song?
[C#] Like, hey man, that song was on our own rotation when it came out of [G#] my house. _
[C#] _ Anyway, I'd forgotten that he and Phil had [D] written some songs for Farnham.
_ [F#] And during that time we [D#] were making our favourite record.
[C#] So of course, Phil had _ _
_ _ laid our record on Richard and Richard really liked it.
[C] _ You know, he's [D#m] a huge Farnham [C#] fan.
And _ as much as I was very uncomfortable with all those _ [G] comparisons between myself and John,
[N] for the most part it was always just because he's so good.
_ And no one wants to be compared to God.
_ Like, [C#] it's just, because, _ _ _ _ [G#] _ [C#] you know. _
_ [B] No thanks.
_ [A#] _ [G#] Yes, he's [F#] incredible.
Like, [C#] _ let's leave that over there with him.
Let's leave incredible over there, you know. _ _ _
[B] It was always a huge compliment.
Don't get me wrong.
[C#] _
It was just a massive pressure that I put on myself being from Bedford.
_ _ But it was [N] a huge honour to have him walk in the room and be singing this song.
And as part of this show, _
he used to, _ [B] when he would introduce me, he'd get me to sing a little chorus of this.
And we'd [N] sing it together. _ _
_ _ _ And, _ _ [G] you know, _ I don't care if it's fashionable to say you're grateful.
_ _ _ How lucky am I?
[C#] _
_ _ It _ was great. _
_ _ _ _ Then we got to sing a chorus of one of my songs.
And he was like, how good is that?
_ _ [A#m] _
_ And he sang the high [C#] harmony.
It wasn't ever there.
He just made it up.
_ _ This _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
night, this place _ _
_ Trembled _ my hands
_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ Headlights [F#] on the street
_ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ So _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ much love, a coffin dress
A river in your _ _ hand
_ _ [F#] _
_ Walnuts on the pitchfork _
It's a sin
_ _ _ But _ _ _ I lost direction
A heart in the rain
_ Take me back to [G#] the _ start
[C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ Lead me to _ water _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Hold my thought _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
Lead me [F] to water
_ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ Lead me to _ water
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I want to stroll a while
A lot of tension _ in the air
_ _ [A#m] _ _ Smiles turn [C#] to arms
_ _ Leave me alone _ _ _ _ _ _
_ A little bit of sweetness _
In my face
_ Don't drive me back to the place _ _ _ _ _
Hold my thought _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A#m] Lead _ _
_ [C#] _ _ me to water _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _
Lead _ [C#] _ _ _ me to [A#] water
_ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ Lead me to water To walk _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
Come in the sun
_ Take a [C#] chance
I won't _ lose _ again
[E] _ _ How [B] much longer must I wait
To [A#m] _
touch [A#] you, my [C#] love? _ _
I [D#] want to [A#] hold you, my [C#] _
love
_ _ [G#] They want it so
_ But [G#m] they won't let you [B] _
down _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Long hair above the steel spine
Age has _ _ passed you by
_ [A#m] _ _ Yes, you [F#] understand
_ _ _ [C#] Stare in the eye
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Feel the empty fire in the soul _ Watch me
_ [G#] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Only _ you
_ _ _ _ I [A#m] was thinking of
_ [C#] _ _ _ _
Lead me [D#] to _ [C#] water _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Hold my _ thought
Hold my thoughts _ _
_ It's not _ enough Look [A#m] afar
_ _ I [C#] need it
