Capo 3

[Verse]
C G7 C

[Verse 1]
C
And away by the waters so blue
C
The ladies were winding their way
           G7
When Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down to the water
      C
To bathe in the cool of the day
C
And before it was dark, she looked in the ark
C
And found sweet infant was there
C
And before it was dark, she looked in the ark
C
And found sweet infant was there

[Verse 2]
C
And away by the waters so blue
C
She carried that beautiful child
      G7
To his tender mother, his sister and brother
          C
Little Moses looked happy and smiled
C
And she called him her own, her beautiful son
               G                                C
And sent for a nurse that was near
C
And she called him her own, her beautiful son
               G                                C
And sent for a nurse that was near

[Interlude]
C G C

[Verse 3]
C
And away by the sea that was red, so red
                     G                      C
Little Moses, the servant of God
   G
Before him subsided, the seas were divided
           C               G             C
When upward he lifted his rod
C
And the Jews safely crossed while Pharaoh's host
                         G                           C
Were drownded in the waters and lost
C
And the Jews safely crossed while Pharaoh's host
C
Were drownded in the waters and lost

[Verse 4]
C
And away on a mountain so high
C
The last one that he ever did see
         G7
With Israel victorious, his hopes were most glorious
C
Someday all Jordan be free
C
When his spirit did cease, he departed in peace
C
And rested in the Heavens above
C
When his spirit did cease, he departed in peace
                  G                         C
And rested in the Heavens above
