[Gm] Christmas. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm so happy. _ _ _ _ _
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack.
And you may find yourself in another part of the world.
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile.
You may find yourself in a beautiful house _ with a beautiful wife.
And you may ask yourself, well, _ how did I get [D] here?
Letting the days go by.
[G] Let the water hold me down.
[D] Letting the days go by.
[G] Water flowing underground.
[D] Into the blue, after the money's [G] gone.
Once [D] in a lifetime.
_ [Gm] Water flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself, how do I work this?
And you may ask yourself, where is that large [Eb] automobile?
And you may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful house.
[G] And you may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful wife.
[D] Letting the days go by.
Let [G] the water hold me down.
[D] Letting the days go by.
[Gm] Water flowing underground.
Into [D] the blue, after [G] the money's gone.
Once [D] in a lifetime.
[G] Water flowing underground.
[D] Same as it ever was.
_ Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
_ Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever [G] was.
Water driving and water removing. _
There is water at the bottom of the ocean.
Under the water, carry the water.
_ [Gm] Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean.
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean.
And water will never move.
_ Letting the [G] days go by.
Let the water hold me down.
Letting the days go _ by. Flowing underground.
Into the blue again.
Into the silent water.
Under the rocks and stones.
There is water underground.
[D] Letting the days go by.
Let the [G] water hold me down.
[D] Letting the days go by.
[G] Water flowing underground.
[D] Into the blue again.
[G] After the money's gone.
[D] Once in a lifetime.
_ [Gm] Water flowing underground.
You may ask yourself,
what is that beautiful house?
You may ask yourself,
where does that highway go to?
[Eb] And you may ask yourself,
[G] am I right?
Am I wrong?
And you may say to yourself,
my God, what have I done?
[D] Letting the days go by.
Letting [G] the water hold me down.
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ Into [D] the blue again.
Into [G] the silent water.
Under [D] the rocks and stones.
[G] There is water underground.
Letting the days go by.
Let the water hold me down.

Water flowing underground.
Into the blue again.
After the money's gone.
Once in a lifetime.
