Verse 1
Backwater (D major)
We're sailing at the (G major) edges of time (D major)
Backwater
We're drifting at the water (G major) (D major) line
Oh we're (C major) floating in the (G major) coastal waters
(C major) You and me and the (G major) porter's daughters
(F sharp minor) Ooh what to (D major) do not a sausage (F sharp minor) to do (D major)
And the shorter (C major) of the
(G major) porter's daughters
(C major) Dips her hand in the (G major) deadly waters
(F sharp minor) Ooh what to (D major) do in a tiny (F sharp minor) ca noe
(D major)

Verse 2
Black water
There were six of us but
(G major) now we (D major) are five
We're all talking
To keep the conver (G major) sation alive
(D major) There was a senator (C major) (G major) from Ecuador
Who (C major) talked about a (G major) meteor
That (F sharp minor) crashed on a (D major) hill in
the south (F sharp minor) of Peru (D major)
And was (C major) found by a con (G major) quistador
Who (C major) took it to the (G major) emperor
And (F sharp minor) he passed it (D major) on to a (F sharp minor) Turkish guru (D major)
Verse 3
His daughter (D major)
Was slated for be (G major) coming (D major) divine
He taught her
He taught her how to split and define
But if you (C major) study the logistics (G major)
And (C major) heuristics of the (G major) mystics
You will (F sharp minor) find that their (D major) minds
rarely (F sharp minor) move in a line
(D major) So it's (C major) much more realist (G major) ic
To aban (C major) don such bal (G major) listics
And resign (F sharp minor) to be (D major) trapped on a (F sharp minor) leaf in (D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(F sharp minor) (D major) (F sharp minor) (D major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(F sharp minor) (D major) (F sharp minor) (D major)
(G major) (D major)
a (G major) vine (D major)
