A       Am     A      Am     A      Am

[Verse 1]
A                       A      Am A
I heard the words of Cyrus
                D                       Bm
Stopped at the light one day
A                                       A      Am A
He blessed me for the offering
                D                       Bm
Then he looked at me and said:

[Chorus]
A                                       F#m
"There is a flood that's comin'
A                       G              F#m
So make your plans for runnin'
                Bm              D
Far away"

Em      D      A      D      G      D      Em

A       Am     A      Am     D Bm

A       Am     A      Am     D Bm

A                                       F#m
"There is a flood that's comin'
A                       G              F#m
So make your plans for runnin'
                Bm              D
Far away"

Em      D      A      D      G      D      Em

A       Am     A      A      Am     A

[Verse 2]
A                       A      Am A
I paid him almost nothing
D                       Bm
And nothing I have laid
A                       A      Am A
I cursed the pearls of Cyrus
D                       Bm
I threw them all away
A                                       F#m
Though high above it's sunny
A                       G              F#m
There ain't no use in runnin'
                Bm              D
