G
  The waves come in
D
  Crash on the shoreline
G                        D
  Salty water, don't you know

It's yours, yours and mine
G
  So grab your girl
    D
And don't go wastin' time
             C           D       G
And let's go down to the water tonight

G
  White-capped clouds
D
  Dance in the sunlight
G
Purple fishes watch
    D
And show you some of their delight
G
  The weather's fine
    D
And everything's all right
            C           D       G
So let's go down to the water tonight
         C           D       G
Let's go down to the water tonight

Em            A
Come on down, come on down
C             D
Come on down, down to the water
Em            A
Come on down, come on down
C             D 
Come on down, down to the water
D
Down to the water

G
  Island music
D
  Sways with a palm tree
G
  Friends of mine lay back
    D
And talk of times that weren't so free

G
  So let's have fun
    D
And that means you and me
             C           D     G
And let's go down to the water tonight
         C           D       G
Let's go down to the water tonight.

G             D             G
  Down, down, down to the water
            D
Down, down, down to the water
G       Em    A7          D
  Down, down, down to the water ...
(repeat and fade)
