F
I got troubles, you got troubles

All God's children got troubles
                               Bb7
Livin' in bad water, (bad water)
                          F
(Tryin' to roll all over me)
                Dm
(Bad water, bad water ooooh)
Bb                             F
(Tell me why won't you set me free)

F
You know I'm tryin' to make it
Bb7
But it's so hard to take it
                      F
I don't mind tellin' you

Taxes are overated
Bb7
My money's disentergrated
                                    F
And, right now, I'm just goin' through
F                       Bb7
Nothin' but, bad water, bad water
                        F
Tryin' to roll all over me, oooh
            Dm
(Bad water, bad water ooooh)
Bb                             F
Tell me why won't you set me free
F
I need some consolation
Bb7
To ease my situation
                                     F
You know, the confusion just won't stop

I find myself alone
Bb7
With the shoes that I have on
                             F
I'm all wet, from bottom to top
                                       Bb7
I'm walkin' through, bad water, (bad water)
                                 F
Tryin' to roll all over me, help me
                Dm
(Bad water, bad water ooooh)
Bb                            F
Tell me why won't you set me free

F
We started this decision
Bb7
To find a quick prevention
                               F
Why don't ya'll lend a helping hand

Instead of shoutin' and screamin'
Bb7
Let's plan instead of dreaming
                         F
So the world will understand
                   F                Bb7
Oh, stop with this bad water, (bad water)
                            F
Tryin' to roll all over me, I'll fix it
            Dm
(Bad water, bad water ooooh)
Bb                            F
Tell me why won't you set me free

Oh, let's stop and fish
                   Bb7
(Bad water, bad water)
                              F
Fade (Tryin' to roll all over me)
