05 Red Earth, Cool Water (3.47)
The lyric came driving through the red earth country in Cambodia (see the Salawetu cover - though this image is Arizona!) but it's a guitar-based folk song with a chunky riff on the bass strings.
Em A Em
Red Earth, cool water, sliding underneath the trees
Em A Em
Don’t you think that this oughta be just the kind of place for you and me
A Bb B B7
Wherever we go the river flows the same
Red earth, perfumed flowers, what else do we need
We won’t count the hours, what need do we have for speed Em
I don’t mind if its all some kind of game - let’s play it just the same
A Em (E) Em (E)
When life drags you through the mill, who’r’ya gonna turn to (who’r’ya gonna turn to)[overlapping]
A Em (E) Em (E)
If you’re looking for a thrill with someone who won’t burn you (someone who won’t burn you)
A Bb B B7
Why don’t you Join with me
Red earth, red sunset, slipping down below the rim
I’m the one who won’t let, you go down under with him
What’s he know that I can’t show you, better get it on with me
