And It Stoned Me

G                                 D                              C                             G
Half a mile from the county fair, and the rain came pouring down
Me and Billy standing there with a silver half a crown
Hands are full of fishing rods, and the tackle on our backs
We just stood there getting wet, with our backs against the fence

Am       D             Am      D
Oh, the water,   Oh, the water
Am       D           Em
Oh, the water
                                    D
Hope it don't rain all day

            G                C                    G
And it stoned me to my soul
G                                         D7                Em       G
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll.  And it stoned me
             G                C                    G
And it stoned me to my soul
G                   D7                                        Em.      G
Stoned me just like going home And it stoned me

And the rain let up, and the sun came up, and we were getting dry
Almost let a pickup truck nearly pass us by
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned
And he dropped us up the road
And we looked at the swim, and we jumped right in
Not to mention fishing poles

On the way back home we sang a song, but our throats were getting dry
Then we saw the man from across the road with the sunshine in his eyes
Well he lived all alone in his own little home with a great big gallon jar
There were bottles too, one for me and you, and he said "hey, there you are"
