Here Comes The Flood

( C#4/7  C#m7  E/B  A7+ ) 4x

C#m            B6        A7+
When the night shows and signals 
grow on radios
C#m             B6          A7+
All the strange things that come and
 go as early warnings
B                 Abm7    A7+
Stranded starfish have no place to 
hide
      A        F#/Bb   B       
Still waiting  for the swollen 
Ab/C   C#m
Easter tide
       C#m7/B                    
Theres no point in direction, we 
F#/Bb  F#m/A A        E
cannot even  choose a side

C#m            B6         A7+
I took the old track, the hollow 
shoulder, across the water,
C#m               B6          
On the tall cliffs, they were 
A7+
getting older, sons and daughters,
B              Abm7      A7+
The jaded underworld was riding 
high,
Continues after the ad
    A         F#/Bb       B     
And waves of steel hurled metal 
Ab/C    C#m
at the sky,
    C#m7/B                         
And as the nails sunk in the cloud,
     F#/Bb    F#m/A    A          
 The rain was warm and soaked the 
 E
crowd.

E          B/Eb      C#m
Lord, here comes the flood
B             Ab/C            
We'll say goodbye,  to flesh and 
    C#m
blood
    Ab/C                        
If again the seas are silent in any 
C#m
still alive
Ab/C     Ab/Bb     Ab         
It'll be those who gave their 
Ab/F#  A7+
island to survive
      Am Bm/A C/A      D/A      
Drink up,     dreamers,  you're 
E/B
running dry

C#m            B6         A7+
When the flood calls, you have no 
home, you have no walls,
C#m               B6          
In the thundercrash, you're a 
A7+
thousand minds within a flash,
B                  Abm7    A7+
Don't be afraid to cry at what you 
see,
    A       F#/Bb         B    
The actor's gone, there's only 
Ab/C    C#m
you and me,
    C#m7/B                      
And if we break before the dawn, 
         F#/Bb  F#m/A   A       E
they'll use up what we used to be.

E          B/Eb      C#m
Lord, here comes the flood
B             Ab/C           
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and 
    C#m
blood
   Ab/C                         
If again the seas are silent in any 
C#m
still alive
Ab/C     Ab/Bb     Ab         
It'll be those who gave their 
Ab/F#  A7+
island to survive
      Am Bm/A C/A      D/A      
Drink up,     dreamers,  you're 
E/B
running dry
