Cold And Wet

Bonnie Prince Billy


Tom: Bm

C#             C#dim    F#            A
Water may stop warmth, this do not forget
 C#                      F#         Ab          C#              
When things become too warm make them a little wet
C#                      C#dim    F#            A
And douse them with a mouthful, put the baby down
C#                   F#           Ab                 C#
Clean the earth surrounding and cause the warm to drown
F#                              F#m                       
And introduce to every soul a drink made of tears
A                             C#     A             Ab
Hear them bicker, watch them die impaled on balsa spears
F#                               F#m
And looking in the morning the streets are flooded out
C#                              Edim               Ab
The men are wailing toothless, the ladies ghostly pout
And they shout :

C#
Our shoes are wet, our skin is cold
C#dim
And we no longer fear the voices of the brave or bold
F#                       Ab
Making what is to come clear
C#                   C#dim      F#            A
Well, future is diminished by what today we did
C#                      F#          Ab           C#
We wetted warmth and killed it and in the water hid
