The Day The Well Went Dry

	  		
verse 1 
C 
Oh the day the well went dry 
                  G 
I was caught with soap in my eye. 
G 
Soap in my eye, made me cry 
                      C 
The day the well went dry. 
C 
No more water down in the well, 
                G 
Who do we know, who can we tell? 
G 
Where will we tell them? 
                                  C 
Say, Oh my! The day the well went dry.
 

               C 
'Cause there's no more water down... 
              C 
No more water down... 
F             C 
No more water down in the well, 
G                 C 
Honey, forget the pail.

C 
Water witcham came today 
                             G 
Said water was three-hundred feet away 
G 
Drewer said, "A foot costs nine." 
                C 
What a price to pay!

So I hooked up a hose to my neighbor's yard.

Said we could take all the water we need 
G 
'Til we get our new well dug. 
                    C 
"Just bein' neighborly."

'Cause there's no more water down... 
              C 
No more water down... 
F             C 
No more water down in the well, 
G                 C 
Honey, forget the pail.
