Lee Roy Parnell - Givin' Water to a Drowning Man
Intro - D
(verse 1)
[D7]I appreciate your sweet kind words,
[D7]And girl you're lokking good tonight,
[D7]Had you come around not too long ago,
[D7]I'm sure we'd had us a time,
B[A7]ut I got someone givin' me more love than I'll ever need,
G[D7]irl you got to understand,
(chorus)
[D7]It'd be like givin' water to a drowning man,
Building a fire n the desert sand,
T[G7]ellin' old Noah all about the flood,
C[D7]atfish hearing 'bout the Mississippi mud,
Y[A7]ou want to give me lovin' and I'm sure that you can,
But it's[D7] like givin' water to a drowning man,
(verse 2)
Lots of pretty women in this town,
But I don't give a second look,
It's just a waste of time staring at the cover,
When you've already read the book,
Cause ever since the day we met,
I've been in over my head,
No one loves me like she can,
(chorus)
[D7]It'd be like givin' water to a drowning man,
Tellin' Merle Haggard 'bout a one night stand,
[G7]Cussin' at the devil, preachin' at the choir,
[D7]Throwing a lighted match on a raging fire,
My[A7] baby gives me more love than any one man can stand,
It'd be[D7] like givin' water to a drowning man,
