[Verse 1]
What were they [D]thinking
When [Em]they dug that hole
[C]And [G]bulldozed that tow[D]n down
Wall [Em]by wa[C]ll[G]
Laying the as[D]phalt [G]and
[Em]Di verting that ro[C]lling ri[G]ver
So there'd [D]be water [G]for us [Em]all[C][G]
I got some [D]pho[G]tograph[Em]s
I don't know if they're [C]us [G]or not
Ah but my [D]memor[G]ies [D]fad
[Em]ing [C]fast[G]
They might as well take [D]that [G]too[Em]
It's no use to [C]me or you
[G]I guess it was n[D]ot d[Em]esigned to last
[C]

[Verse 2]
I heard you [Bm]live there [G]now[Am]
And that you've [G]settled
[C]down
And accepted the [G]vastness
of it [Am]all[C]
Maybe I'll [G]write a letter
[Am]Cos I've heard that
[Em]life's much better
On the [C]other [D]side of the reser

[Verse 3]
Well time has a funny [D]way[G]
[D]Of dou[Em]bling back on itsel[C]f[G]
And showing [D]the things
[G]that really las[Em]t[C][G]
Was it just yes[D]terday
[Em]You left for green[C]er pasture[G]s
Or was that way [D]back [G]in the pas[Em]t[C][G]
I got some [D]pho[G]tograph[Em]s
Of [C]a long lost val[D]ley[G]
Now filled with [D]water shore
[Em]to shore[C][G]
That rolls under miles [D]of [Em]land
Right down [C]to new York [G]city
But at least no one's [D]thirsty any [Em]more
[C]

[Verse 4]
I heard you [Bm]live there [G]now[Bm][G][Am]
And that you've [G]settled
[C]down
And accepted the [G]vastness
of it [Am]all[G][C]
Maybe I'll [G]get in [C]touch
[Am]I've heard that ther[Em]e's so much
On the [C]other [D]side of the reser[G]voir

[G][C][G][C]
[G]
So what were they [D]thinking

[Verse 5]
When [Em]they dug that [C]hole[G]
And flooded [D]the meadows
green an[Em]d fa[C]ir[G]
Was it so sat[D]isfying[Em]
They didn't hear [C]people crying
[G]As they watched [D]their lives
Get moved [Em]elsewhere
[C]

[Verse 6]
Well I hear [G]the trees grow [Am]tall
By that re[G]taining [C]wall
And there's always a [G]rainbow
in [Am]the sky[G][C]
Maybe [G]I'll write a letter
[Am]Cos I've heard that [Em]life's
much better
On the [C]other [D]side of
the reser[Em]voir[C]
On the other [D]side of the [G]reservoir
