Intro
F# F#7 F# B F#
[Verse 1]
F#
Backwater
F#7 F# B F#
We're sailing at the edges of time
F#
Backwater
F#7 F# B F#
We're drifting at the waterline
[Chorus 1]
E B
Oh we're floating in the coastal waters
E B
You and me and the porter's daughters
A#m F# A#m F#
Ooh what to do not a sausage to do
E B
And the shorter of the porter's daughters
E B
Dips her hand in the deadly waters
A#m F# A#m F#
Ooh what to do in a tiny canoe
[Verse 2]
F#
Black water
F#7 F# B F#
There were six of us but now we are five
F#
We're all talking
F#7 F# B F#
To keep the conversation alive
[Chorus 2]
E B
There was a senator from Ecuador
E B
Who talked about a meteor
A#m F# A#m F#
That crashed on a hill in the south of Peru
E B
And was found by a conquistador
E B
Who took it to the emperor
A#m F# A#m F#
And he passed it on to a Turkish guru
[Verse 3]
F#
His daughter
F#7 F# B F#
Was slated for becoming divine
F#
He taught her
F#7 F# B F#
He taught her how to split and define
[Chorus 3]
E B
But if you study the logistics
E B
And heuristics of the mystics
A#m F# A#m F#
You will find that their minds rarely move in a line
E B
So it's much more realistic
E B
To abandon such ballistics
A#m F# A#m F#
And resign to be trapped on a leaf in the vine
[Instrumental]
