Before The Deluge

C

[Verse 1]
N.C.              C         F       
          C
Some of them were dreamers, some of 
them were fools
Am               F               
Making plans and thinking of the 
C
future
With the energy of the innocent, 
          F             C
they were gathering the tools
           Am                
They would need to make their 
 F   G           C
journey back to nature

[Chorus]
         Am                       
When the sand slipped through the 
C
opening
          F                    
And their hands reached for the 
 C
golden ring
          Am                   
And their hearts turned to each 
                   G
others hearts for refuge
       Am                  F  
In the troubled years that came 
  G          C
before the deluge

[Verse 2]
                            F      
Some of them knew pleasure, some of
           C
 them knew pain
        Am                  F     
And for some of them it was only 
               C
the moment that mattered
On the wild and crazy wings of youth
           F                    C
 they went flying around in the rain
           Am                F   
'Til their feathers once so fine 
G             C
were torn and tattered

[Chorus]
       Am                    C
In the end they traded their tired 
wings
        F                C
For the resignation that living 
brings
     Am                      
They traded love's bright and 
 F                    G
fragile glow for the glitter and the
 rouge
     Am               F     G    
In a moment they were swept 
      C
before the deluge

[Verse 3]
So let the music keep your spirits 
high (Let the music keep your 
F
spirits high)
C                           F
Let the buildings keep your children
 dry
C                    G           
Let creation reveal its secrets 
      Am         F          C    
by and by, by and by, by and by, 
      F
by and by
         C                         
When the light that's lost within 
F G           C
us reaches the sky

[Verse 4]
N.C.              C            F    
                    C
Some of them were angry at the way 
that the earth was abused
         Am                       
By those men who learned to forge 
F           C
beauty into power
And in trying to protect us from 
     F              C
them only became confused
       Am               F         
By the magnitude of the fury in 
  G     C
the final hour

[Chorus]
         Am                    C
When the sand was gone and the time 
arrived
       F                 C
In the naked dawn only a few 
survived
   Am               F             
In attempts to understand this 
      G
thing so simple and so huge
     Am                        F  
We believed they were meant to 
  G         C
live after the deluge

[Verse 5]
C                                 
So let the music keep your spirits
 high (Let the music keep your 
F
spirits high)
C                           F
Let the buildings keep your children
 dry
C                    G           
Let creation reveal its secrets 
      Am         F          C    
by and by, by and by, by and by, 
      F
by and by
         C                         
When the light that's lost within 
F G           C
us reaches the sky
