Cool acoustic song which I kinda tried to play off OLGA
about 2 years ago.  Unfortunately, they didn't use the
capo and it was tough to play.  So here I have figured
it out again using a capo and it sounds cool.  Hope you
enjoy it.

Capo 2nd

   Start turning the grain into the ground
(C)
Roll a new leaf over

Em        Bm
   In the middle of the night
           D                Am7
There's an old man running around in the gathered rain
Em                             Bm
   Well mister if you're gonna walk on water
D               C              G

   It's the heart that matters more
G   D                      Em                Am7
      I think you'd better turn your ticket in
C
   And get your money back at the door

Start threading a needle
Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room
Start turning the wool across the wire
Roll a new life over

In the middle of the day
There's an old man threading his toes through a bucket of rain
Hey mister you don't wanna walk on water
You're only gonna walk all over me


CHORUS

play descending riff 4x


Start running the banner down
Drop past the color come up through the summer rain
Start turning the girl into the ground
Roll a new love over

In the middle of the day
There's a young man rolling around in the earth and rain
Hey mister if you're gonna walk on water
You know you're only gonna walk all over me


CHORUS 2x
