When The Water Falls By Collective Soul

>From COLLECTIVE SOUL, 1995

Tabbed by Duncan Koerber <sports2@genie.com>

I'm sure everything is correct except FILL B. It's hard to hear that

bit but I play it as listed. CS have three guitars playing this baby

but it really isn't needed, so I didn't split it into Guitar1, 2, 3.

This a cool song, and I've heard Ed play it acoustically all by himself

and it was even better.

INTRO add this 3rd time through

(INTRO x 3)

(FIG. A)

She's a picture perfect child of innocence (FIG. A)

Searching out with childlike ways for knowledge (FIG. A)

Now she's questioning her mother (FILL A)

Yeah she's questioning her father (FILL A)

Yeah she's looking for the answers (FILL A)

to the problem that confront her (FILL A)

Do you know where the sun goes (FILL B)

when the water falls? (FILL B)

Do you know where the rain goes (FILL B)

when the water falls? (FILL B)

Though I think her subjects could run far and wide (FIG. A)

She has centered on the topic of the sky (FIG. A)

Now she's questioning her mother (FILL A)

Yeah she's questioning her father (FILL A)

Yeah she's looking for the answers (FILL A)

to the problem that confronts her (FILL A)
