Gm                          Cm                   Gm
Wouldn't take long for the rivers 'round here to rise
Gm                          Cm                   D7
Wouldn't take long for the rivers 'round here to rise
              Gm
Wouldn't take long for the rivers to rise
                  Cm
There wouldn't be nothing but the sea and the sky
Gm                 D7                            Gm   D7
Wouldn't take long for the rivers 'round here to rise

Forty days and forty nights
      G
Forty days and forty nights

Forty days and forty nights
      G                                     B7            C7
Forty days and nights of rain and we would start all over again
              Cm             F#dim7      Gm  D7
In just forty days and forty nights of rain


[Verse 2]
    Gm                    Cm               Gm
The wind and rain will not knock upon your door
    Gm                    Cm               D7
The wind and rain will not knock upon your door
               Gm                           Cm
The wind and rain, they came before anybody knew what a door was for
    Gm                     D7                 Gm D7
The wind and rain will not knock upon the door

In just forty days and forty nights of rain

[Bridge]

C                                      G
Cities they are built and then they're broken
C                              G
Nothing lasts forever, so they say
C                               G
We all know how long it took to build it
        E7                       A7                           D7
Yeah we do but how long would it take now just to wash it all away

[Verse 3]
      Gm                 Cm                   Gm
These fools believe that they can control the tide
       Gm                Cm                D7
These fools believe that they can turn the tide
Gm                                  Cm
No one turns the tide and everybody swims when the waters rise
      Gm                 D7                Gm
These fools believe that they can turn the tide

[Chorus]

Forty days and forty nights
      G
Forty days and forty nights
      D7
Forty days and forty nights
      G                                     B7            C7
Forty days and nights of rain and we would start all over again
              Cm             F#dim7      Gm
In just forty days and forty nights of rain
              Cm             F#dim7      Gm
In just forty days and forty nights of rain
