Great band and song.

Intro
Am-E7-Am-E7-Am-E7-Am-Am-Am
Am E7 Am E7 D
Beneath the sun and the water, I will make love to your daughter all day
C B A# Am E7 Am E7
on the banks of the river where you're madly forbidden to play
Am E7 Am E7 D
and i'll return you that evening with your dress all worn and frayed
C B A# Am E7 Am E7
and the mud from the river on her back where she spent the day
G Am E7 Am E7
so she crept up the stairway in fear,
G Am E7 Am E7
she was old enough to comprehend, but young enough not to care
G Am E7 Am E7
when her father stopped her dead in her tracks
G Am E7 Am E7
and questioned of her, that mud on her back
D C B A#
and she said, mmm, mmm, mmm
