VERSE 1: 
 
E                               E  E/D# 
  I dreamed there was a fountain 
C#m 
  I dreamed there was a vein 
A 
  That overcame the mountain 
E 
  Like a condescending rain 
 
VERSE 2: 
With love that's bigger than Los Angeles 
With a speed that overcame the pain 
Of a thousand left hand promises 
Made by thieves with their good names 
 
PRE CHORUS: 
 
C#m 
  There came a song upon a west wind 
E   
  That kissed the lips of spoon-fed babes 
A  
  Though ignorant inside their blessings 
        B  
  But it broke their hearts, and they sang 
 
CHORUS: 
 
A      E          B 
  Come drink this water 
A      E          B 
  Come drink this blood 
A          E           B                     
  Come and drink this love 
                         C#m 
  that you could not afford 
 
VERSE 3: 
I stood and looked across the waters 
Of a great Atlantic sea 
I saw my sons I saw my daughters 
It's like they had no tears to weep 
 
PRE CHORUS: 
There came a song upon a west wind 
That kissed the lips of spoon-fed babes 
Though ignorant inside their blessings 
But it broke their hearts, and they sang 
 
CHORUS: 
A      E          B 
  Come drink this water 
A      E          B 
  Come drink this blood 
A          E           B                     
  Come and drink this love that you could not afford 
A      E          B 
  Come drink this water 
A      E          B 
  Come drink this blood 
A          E           B                     
  Come and drink this love 
                         C#m 
  that you could not afford
