E
I got lost in the back-streets
Trying to get here tonight
The police were asking questions
They took me to the wrong place twice
                A7
I even lost my passport
                          E
And I forgot my name and town
             G    D      E   C
But now I'm here by the water
 D               E
Put the money down

Chorus:
E                    F#m G#m A
Before I walk on the water
               G      D    E
Put the money down, down, down
                         F#m G#m A
There are bands killing chickens
                           G         D     E
My hero's getting pushed around, 'round, 'round
E                   A7     D
I don't know if I trust you
A7                      E A E
As you try to shoot me down
                     F#m  G#m A
Before I walk on the water
               G      D    C
Put the money down, down, down
D              E
Put the money down.

         C                                         G
'Twas a beautiful day in Columbus when the fences fell
         D                                          A
But the five loaves and fishes ain't gonna be much help
            C                                      G
I've got a hungry juggler here who wants to keep ahead
   D                                      A
Before he walks the water, he wants his bread.

Take a glass of that light brown ale
And a purple pill
If the ale don't get you too
Sure as hell pill will
Oh mummy mummy
Please may I go down town
He's gonna walk on the water
Put the money down

Put it down!

Chorus
