Water of Life  Em D, Em D
       D            Em
He took my hand,
       D      Em
His only son,
             C             D        Em
And he led me into the mountains,
       D       Em
Up Table Rock,
           D           Em
Down Linville Gorge,
                  C                 D                     Am
Where he painted the beauty of the mountains.
                    C             G       D             Em
     He said “Son this is the goodliest land,
            C                      D           Em
     My father used to take me here,
     C                         G                       D               Em
     Drink from the spring where I drank as a  boy,
                   F                  Em
     It is the water of life 
                            D
     So sweet and clear.”
      
      D            Em
He took my hand,
       D      Em
His only son,
             C                        D                       Em
And he showed me the mystery of the mountains,
           D                 Em
From Wiseman’s View,
       D           Em
We saw the lights,
C                  D                    Am
Flicker and fade into the mountains.    (chorus)



            D               Em
Now I take your hand,
       D     Em
My only son,
           C                D        Em
And I lead you into the mountains,
       D       Em
Up Table Rock,
           D            Em
Down Linville Gorge,
               C                       D                    Am
Where I sing about the beauty of the mountains,
      C           G       D             Em
     Son this is the goodliest land,
            C                      D           Em
     My father used to take me here,
            C          G              D                      Em
     But sins of man have destroyed this spring,
             F             Em
     The water of life 
                            D
     So sweet and clear.”
