        VIOLIN INTRO 
 
C G C G D C G   C G C G Bm C G 
 
 
 
        VERSE 
 
         C           G 
Have you ever seen a fish 
 
        C               G 
Jumping up from a quiet stream 
 
        D             C 
Shine a moment in the light 
 
    Bm         C 
And fall away again 
 
         D       G 
Have you seen it brother 
 
          C                G 
Won't you come outside and see 
 
         C             G 
Have you ever seen the rain 
 
D                 C  
Turn the earth to mud 
 
Bm                     C    
And watch the mud turn gold 
 
       D      G 
In the rising sun 
 
 
 
        VIOLIN SOLO 
 
C G C G D C G   C G C G Bm C G 
 
 
 
        VERSE 
 
         Am      Em 
Have you seen it brother 
 
          Am               Em 
Won't you come outside and see 
 
          D            C 
Won't you come with me tonight 
 
Bm          C 
Down to the lowland field 
 
   D              G 
To hear the frogs singing 
 
       C              G 
In the air so hot and still 
 
          D            C 
Won't you come with me sister 
 
          D            G 
Won't you come with me tonight 
 
 
   C                   G 
Oh down in the flooded field 
 
          C                G 
Where the earth is wet and dark 
 
   D                   C 
Oh down in the flooded fields 
 
  D                 G 
Beneath the falling stars 
 
          C                    G 
Won't you lie down in the dirt brother 
  
     C             G 
Be a mirror to the night 
 
          D                    C 
Won't you lie down in the dirt sister 
 
     D             G 
Be a mirror to the night 
 
          C                    G 
Won't you lie down in the dirt brother 
  
     C             G 
Be a mirror to the night 
 
          D                    C 
Won't you lie down in the dirt sister 
 
     D             G 
Be a mirror to the night
