Hi, [F#m]
a nice guy named Pete asked if I would try to learn [C#] Dirk Powell's version of Waterbound
[C] from the Transatlantic Sessions.
[C#m] Dirk [D#] does a wonderful [B] job with this, and [F#] [D] one of the things that he's doing is [A#] he's leaving
[F#] a sort of [Em] one [D] question mark note that sort [E] of [D] ties [B] everything together.
[C] And I [A#] think what Pete might be [C] having a [A#] problem with is [E] that the rhythm [B] isn't a normal claw
hammer [A#] rhythm, [G] it keeps coming back to this [C] question mark [G#m] second string.
[Bm] Now [D] if we were in regular [G] sawmill [D#] tuning, this would be [D] a C note.
Dirk is playing [D#] in F sharp.
[F#] Excuse me, I have a cold.

[F#] River rising to [C#] my door.
Carried my [F#] home to the peak below.
[B] [F#] Waterbound, now [C#m] where to [F#] go?
Called my name [B] on an old barn wall.
[F#]
No one know how I was [C#] there at all.
Stables [F#] dry, all the weather's [B] fine.
Burying your head, you can see the [F#m] line.
