            G
One night I had a dream,

That I climbed up to the mountaintop, 
        F            C
That reaches all the way,
            D
To heaven above

            G
And I had a conversation,
  GMaj7             Em
With old man in a white robe,
          A7
I asked a simple question, 
      C         D
How do I show love?

            G
And I asked him what to do,

When I climbed down off of that mountaintop,
        F            C
That reaches all the way,
            D
To heaven above

            G
His answer was so simple,
  GMaj7             Em
That it took me by suprise,
          A7
He said wayfarin' pilgrim, 
      C         D
If you want to show love

      G
Chop wood,
(Chop wood)
      C
And carry water,
(Just a little water)
      G                            C
Build a fire and give a drink to all of God's sons and daughters,
  Bm                                        Em                 D
If you wanna save a strugglin' soul from stumblin' to the slaughter,
  C       B/C
Chop Wood,
(chop wood)
     A7
And carry water,
(Just a little water)
     C
Chop Wood,
(Chop wood)
     D           G
And carry Water

            G#
But I did not like the answer,

From the old man on the mountaintop,
        F#            C#
That reaches all the way,
        D#
To heaven above

            G#
Cos I wanted to do it bigger,
  G#Maj7             Fm
And I wanted to do it better,
          A#7
So I forgot about what he told me,
      C#         D#
When he said to show love

    G#
Chop wood,
(Chop wood)
    C#
And carry water,
(Just a little water)
    G#                            C#
Build a fire and give a drink to all of God's sons and daughters,
 Cm                                       Fm                     D#
If you wanna save a strugglin' soul from stumblin' to the slaughter,
C#      C/C#
Chop Wood,
(chop wood)
    A#7
And carry water,
(Just a little water)
    C#
Chop Wood,
(Chop wood)
    D#           G#
And carry Water

                      A
One night I saw a beggar man on the streets of New Orleans,
        G                D                          E
And I swear I heard a voice that came from heaven above,
     A        
It said this is one of my children,
     F#m
And my child is cold and hungry,
     B7                             D               E
Now this is your big chance if you want to show love,

               A
So I wrapped my arms around him,

And he turned his face up to me,
         G                 D                 E
And I swear it was the old man from heaven above,
         A 
He said wayfarin' pilgrim,
        F#m
You know I've been lookin for you,
     B7                         D                E
You finally got it figured out just how to show love

    A
Chop wood,
(Chop wood)
   D
And carry water,
(Just a little water)
  A                                D
Build a fire and give a drink to all of God's sons and daughters,
  C#m                                     F#m               E
If you wanna save a strugglin' soul from stumblin' to the slaughter,
   D     C#/D
Chop Wood,
(chop wood)
    B7
And carry water,
(Just a little water)
    D
Chop Wood,
(Chop wood)
    E           A
And carry Water
