Saltwater chords by Julian Lennon

"Saltwater" is a 1991 song performed by English singer, songwriter, and musician Julian Lennon. It was written by Mark Spiro, Leslie Spiro and Julian Lennon. Originally released on the album Help Yourself, it topped the Australian singles charts for four weeks and reached #6 in the UK. Unlike most of Lennon's previous songs, "Saltwater" combines subtle melodies with gentle vocals to bring forward the issues of environmental conservation and world poverty. The lyrics juxtapose the many marvels and feats of human civilization with the death of the natural world, constantly emphasising the passing of time - 'Time is not a friend, 'cos friends we're out of time' The recording features an uncredited George Harrison on lead guitar. An instrumental version (Guitar Duet) of this song was recorded by Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel on their album "The day Finger Pickers Took Over the World". Read more on Last.fm.
