How To Play Bring Me Some Water
By Melissa Etheridge

This is a great song, and on this page Im going to explain how to play Bring Me Some Water By Melissa Etheridge.

Melissa Etheridge has been around the music business since she was a teenager in the mid 70's playing in all male country bands. After leaving the Berklee College Of Music in Boston in the early 1980's, she headed out to Los Angeles to get a music career started.

You've heard the old saying "right place at the right time". Well one of women in the bar that night was married to music manager Bill Leopold who helped Etheridge get more exposure. One thing led to another and by 1988, her first album, "Melissa Etheridge" was slated for release.



Just four days before release, her record company rejected the final product, So in four days, changes were made and her first album spawned the single "Bring Me Some Water".



Chord wise this is a pretty simple song. Im using a G - F - C - D and a D7. In the beginning parts of the verses you can hammer on the D string and catch the B string on the first while on the G chord. And on the C chord, grab the bottom string briefly on the first string.

Further on in the song we move from the G chord, to an Em and F, but just on the Bass. The the Am chord and up to the C chord. The hardest part is singing this one fron a guys point of view.
