D

D                       A
They'll be singing out loud
                   D
When the water goes through the crowd
                       A
They'll be howling for you
                   D
When the waves come crashing through
              G
I brought my friend.  Here he comes,
                         D
Splashing, gurgling for you
                                             G          A
Now the water runs through the streets unimpaired
        D
Crashing through
                        
                        A
They'll be saying your name
                             D
Every voice different, every word the same
                        A
They'll be holding you up
                                 D
Too close to the sun, but I'll make them stop
               G
I brought my friend.  Here he comes.
                         D
Splashing, gurgling for you
                                               G    A
And now the water runs through the streets unimpaired
       D
Rushing through

Still, still singing, we will stand in the light
When my friend gets here, he will set things right
They'll be singing for one thing, and they'll get this instead
Let them come and get me, let them strike me dead
I brought my friend.  Here he comes.
Splashing, gurgling for you
Now the water runs through the streets unimpaired
Rushing through

I brought my friend.  Here he comes.
Splashing, gurgling for you
And now the water runs through the streets unimpaired
Rushing through
