Here Comes the Flood Peter Gabriel
Put the capo on 2nd fret and go from there. If you want to simplify the chord
diagram, just use the base chords shown(without /extensions, which I think sounds good too).
Intro
( Csus4/7 Cm7 Eb Ab ) 4x
[Cm]When the night [Bb6]shows and s[Ab]ignals grow on radios
[Cm]All the strange [Bb6]things that c[Ab]ome and go as early warnings
[Bb]Stranded starfish h[Gm7]ave no [Ab]place to hide
Still [Ab]waiting f[F/A]or the[Bb] swollen [G/B]Easter[Cm] tide
Theres [Cm7/Bb]no point in direction, we [F/A]canno[Fm/Ab]t even[Ab] choose a [Eb]side
[Cm]I took the old [Bb6]track, the h[Ab]ollow shoulder, across the water,
[Cm]On the tall cliffs[Bb6], they were g[Ab]etting older, sons and daughters,
[Bb]The jaded underw[Gm7]orld was [Ab]riding high,
And [Ab]waves of st[F/A]eel hurled[Bb] metal [G/B]at the [Cm]sky,
And [Cm7/Bb]as the nails sunk in the cloud, The [F/A]rain wa[Fm/Ab]s warm an[Ab]d soaked the c[Eb]rowd.
[Eb]Lord, here [Bb/D]comes the [Cm]flood
[Bb]We'll say good[G/B]bye, to flesh and b[Cm]lood
If a[G/B]gain the seas are silent in[Cm] any still alive
[G/B]It'll be[G/A] those w[G]ho gave th[G/F]eir i[Ab]sland to survive
Drink [Abm]up, [Bbm] dr[B]eamers, [C#]you're running [Eb]dry
[Cm]When the flood [Bb6]calls, you h[Ab]ave no home, you have no walls,
[Cm]In the thundercras[Bb6]h, you're a t[Ab]housand minds within a flash,
[Bb]Don't be afraid to c[Gm7]ry at w[Ab]hat you see,
The [Ab]actor's g[F/A]one, there's[Bb] only [G/B]you and[Cm] me,
And [Cm7/Bb]if we break before the dawn, they'll [F/A]use u[Fm/Ab]p what w[Ab]e used to [Eb]be.
[Eb]Lord, here [Bb/D]comes the [Cm]flood
[Bb]We'll say good[G/B]bye, to flesh and b[Cm]lood
If [G/B]again the seas are silent in[Cm] any still alive
[G/C]It'll be[Ab)/Bb] those who [Ab]gave their [Ab)/F#]island t[A)]o survive
Drink [Abm]up, [Bbm] dr[B]eamers, [C#]you're running [Eb]dry
