WATER ON THE GROUND
Eric Clapton
from the album "Crossroads 2: Live in the Seventies" (1996)
transcribed by Steve Garner (s_garner@hotmail.com)
This song has only 2 main picking patterns. Listen to
the album to hear when you should play each one. The
first one is played throughout the majority of the song,
and the second one comes in around the third line of each
verse, or what you could call the "chorus". Play it once,
then go back to repeating the first one.
Pattern #1:

LYRICS:
Water on the ground, cloud on the sun
Moon on the rise, and the wind on the run
Cause you know it's only water
Water on the ground
Snow is falling, weather is cold
Maybe I'm just getting old
And I think it's only water
Water on the ground
Back to the rivers, back to the sea
Keeps on running, just like me
But you know it's only water
Water on the ground
