--------------------Mike Mains and the Branches------------- --------------------Beneath Water--------------------------- Really great song by a great band. Standard Tuning Verse 1 and Chorus 1 I usually play palm muted, as well as the second half of the bridge. Notice that the chords are slightly different in the final chorus. ------------Verse 1------------ Em So scratch away the sand stuck in your ears D Water all the crops with showers of tears Em Tell all those baby's mothers they don't need no fear D 'Cause God's got their hearts in his hands Em And we'll ask all of the painters if they dressed in white D To walk around the streets, in the dead of the night Em Dance like guests at a wedding underneath the lights D Look at the buildings and say "I touched that" ----------Pre-Chorus---------- C D Bm Oh we always wanna brag... C D Bm Oh we always wanna brag... ------------Chorus------------ Em So just hold me, underneath the water 'till the D Old me, dies and slips out of this Em Body, Rip him out of my body C D And make me new again ------------Verse 2------------ Em Well maybe I'm the writer that will spark that flame D That makes the world believe in the right kind of faith Em But perhaps, I need to get these feet off stage D And find a smaller pair of shoes to fill Em What I know is that my father's only son said D "There'll be time for sleep when the work is done" Em Keep your pedal to the floor until the race is won D What if the race is not a race at all C D Bm Don't you crash into a tree? C D Bm Don't you crash into a tree... ------------Chorus------------ x 2 Em So just hold me, underneath the water 'till the D Old me, dies and slips out of this Bm Body, Rip him out of my body C D And make me new again ------------Bridge------------ Em He spoke his words to me like well driven nails D They sank like wind to rain to my rusty sails Bm The sailor's hands took flight and hung in the sky C D Below a celebration that land's in sight Em My heart puffs with pride, as I'm defined D In the center of the room filled with all your eyes Bm Leading me to believe that I'm so fresh and revised C D But God I'm nothing if I don't have you... Em I'm nothing (I AM) D I'm nothing (I'M NOT A THING) Bm C D I'm nothing (I AM!) Em I met my brother in a hallway D Said he loved Jesus and I said "I think I do too" Bm I met my brother in a hallway C D I met my brother in a hallway ------------Chorus------------ x 2 G And said hold me, underneath the water 'till the D Old me, dies and slips out of this Em Body, Rip him out of my body C D And make me new again Enjoy! :)
