Rekevin – The Street Is Full Of Water
=====================================
Note: it's hard to make the guitar chords sound similar to the piano in the original
piece, so you might find yourself playing E5 and C5 in the chorus to hide the thirds.
Play Em on the A string.
=====================================
[Intro]
Em G F Dm
[Verse]
Em G
Again I'm here in this enchanted kingdom
F
I'll fetch up there before I sing my swan song
Dm
Say why couldn't I visit it many a time
Em
Every night and day, every day and night
G
And again some odd things happen
F
There's no one whom I can question, 'Oh, why
Dm
Is there a sea in the street where it can't be?
Em
Should I swim across it or should I find an alternative?'
[Chorus] (2x)
Em C
The street is full of water
Em
Up and down my tire is floating
C
My friends are behind and I'm deserted
Em
My sea route doesn't become shorter
[Solo]

[Verse]
Em
You're not in joking mood,
G
Don't be afraid to get wet
F
In my dream you can do anything, anything
Dm
I made my choice indeed and gonna fight all night
Em
All I need is to swim straight
G
I'm enjoying myself, please, don't try to wake me up
F
It's not funny, you have already got a swap
Because you missed your work today by sleeping
Dm Em
So now relax and cross this flooded fucking street with me
[Chorus]
Em C
The street is full of water
Em
Up and down my tire is floating
C
My friends are behind and I'm deserted
Em
My sea route doesn't become shorter
C
The street is full of water
Em
The street is full of water
C
My friends are behind
Em
The street is full of water

[Intermezzo]
(from Hitchcock's movie "North by Northwest", 1959)
"Hello? Are you alright? I ask the professor if I could see you again.
There's not much time... I wanted to tell you, I mean apologize. I did treat you
miserably, didn't want you to go on. They hurt deeply. I couldn't tell you, could I? I
do have
plans of my own, and you do have problems.
I want you to do a favor for me. A big, big favor. I want you to leave right now. Stay
far away from me and don't come near me again. We're not going to get involved. Last
night was last night and it's all there was and that's all there is. There isn't going
to be anything more between us. So please, goodbye, good luck, no conversation, just leave."
