Earth And Water Song

 Tabbed by: James McKinnon.
 From the 1970 Album: 'Humble Pie'
 Lovely acoustic song almost entirely attributable to Peter Frampton,
 surely rock's most underrated guitarist. I haven't gone right into the
 fully transcribed tab thing, mainly because I'm not that good at time
 signatures, so it's basically the main chord progressions. All little
 flourishes and twirls can be heard from the record.
  Intro: (Basically a D chord, then to Am).
  Note: 6th (Lower 'E' string) is not sounded at any stage during
             Intro or verses. First or High 'E' can be sounded in
             passing, where not shown.

  Verses:

   I'll           take      your      word             if    it

   rains,   I'll   wear     my     coat.

   Don't         tell     me       now

   What,     what     is        to    come.

    I live      from     day    to    day.

   Who   knows    what  tomorrow  will  bring?

 Love and fate  run       hand   in    hand.

    I     know  there must be a better land.

    Mmmmm   Hmmmm      Mmmmmmm.

                   Yeah, I know there must be a better land.
                      (repeat for verse 2).
 Accompaniment to first instrumental bit:( A, G, D )

 Accompaniment to 2nd instrumental bit is 'I live..' chord sequence.
 Accompaniment for 3rd instrumental bit (before 'I have found..') ( D, A, E )

 Middle Eight:
   (D) (Bm)                 (A)                     (D)         (E)

         I have found all I need is my love, in the day, oh! at night
             (A)      (Bm)                      (G)

  and in the morning.     She can tell when I'm down.
                   (E)                     (A)

   I'll sing this song    when things are wrong.
       (return to 'I live' chord sequence)
Rest of verses:
I'll take your word
That a moonbeam can be heard
Time passes by
But my heart still stays the same
She came just like the sun
I know she is mine, I know.
You see the stars and yet
I am the Earth and she is my water.
Yeah, I am the Earth and she is my water.
I'll take your word
That your moon has moved away
Don't look ahead for me,
I'll wait my turn
I am the Earth and she is my water.
I have found all I need is my love
In the day, oh! at night
and in the morning.
She can tell when I'm down.
I'll sing this song
When things are wrong.
I live from day to day
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
Love and fate run hand in hand.
I know there must be a better land.
I know there must be a better land.
