Let's Make the Water Turn Black Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Csus2]Now belie[C]ve[Csus2]
[C]me when
I [Em]tell you that [Am]my song is really true
[D]I want everyo[Em]ne to listen an[G]d believe
It's [C]about some little [Em]people
[Bm]from a [A]long [Am]time ago
[Bb]And all the [Eb]things the n[Ab]eigh
bors didn't [G]know
[C]Early in [Em]the morning daddy
[A]dinky went to work
[D]Selling lamps and [Em]chairs to
[F]San Ber[G]nadino squares
And [C]I still remember [Em]mama with
her [Am]apron and her pad
[Bb]Feeding all [A]the boys at Ed's [D]cafe!

[Verse 2]
[G]Whizzing and pasting and pooting through
[F]the day...[G]
(Ronnie helping [A]Kenny helping
[Bm]burn his [D]poots away!)
And [G]all the [F]while on [Eb]a shelf in [D]the shed:
[C]Kenny's little cre[Cm]atures on [G]display!

[Verse 3]
Ron[C]nie saves [Em]his numies on
[A]a window [Am]in his room
[D](a marvel to [Em]be seen: dysen
[F]tery [G]green)
[C]While Kenny & his [Em]buddies had a
[Am]game out in the [F]back:
Let's make the [G]wa ter turn [Am]black

[Verse 4]
[Em]We see them after school in
a [A]world of their own
(to[Em]some it might seem creepy
what [A]they do...)
[Em]The neighbors on the right sat and
[C]watched them every [B]night
[Em](I bet you'd do the same
if they [D]was [G]you)

[Verse 5]
Whizzing and pasting [G]and pooting through
[F]the day...[G]
(Ronnie helping [Am]Kenny helping
[Bm]burn his [G]poots away!)
And all the [F]while on [Eb]a shelf
in [D]the shed:
[C]Kenny's [Fm]little creatures
[Ab]on displ[G]ay!

[Verse 6]
[Csus2]Ronnie's [C]in the [Em]army now
and [A]Kenny's taking pills
[D]Oh! how they [Em]yearn to see
[F]a bomber [G]burn!
[C]Color flashing, [Em]thunder crashing,
[Am]dynamite machine!
[F](wait till the[G] fire tur[Am]ns gre[F]en...wait till
[G]the fire [Am]turns [F]green)
Wait till [G]the fire turns [A]green!

[Verse 7]
This would be a little bit of vocal teen- age heaven,
right here on earth!
Dodn- do- do- dodn- dodn- dodn- dada
