Saltwater

By Julian Lennon
(Download MP3)

Verse 1:
E
We are a rock revolving
Emaj7
Around the golden sun
E7-A
We are a billion children rolled into one
Am-E-C#m
So when I hear about the hole in the sky
C-D-E
Saltwater wells in my eyes

Verse 2:
E
We climb the highest mountains
Emaj7
We make the desert bloom
E7-A
We're so ingenious we can walk on the moon
Am-E-C#m
But when I hear of how the forest have died
C-D-E
Saltwater wells in my eyes

Chorus:
Abm-A
I have lived for love
Abm-A
But now that's not enough
C#m
For the world I love is dying (and now I'm crying)
Abm-A
Time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
Abm-A
As friends we're out of time
C#m-C#m7-F#
And it's slowly passing by...
A
(slow strum)
Right before our eyes

Verse 3:
E
We light the deepest ocean
Emaj7
Send photographs of Mars
E7-A
We're so enchanted by how clever we are
Am-E-C#m
Why should one baby be so hungry it cries
C-D-E
Salt water wells in my eyes

Verse 4:
E
We are a rock revolving
Emaj7
Around the golden sun
E7-A
We are a billion children rolled into one
Am-E-C#m
What will I think of me, the day that I die
C-D-E
Salt water wells in my eyes
