Here Comes the Flood Peter Gabriel
[Intro]
(A4/7 Am7 C/G F) (x4)
[Verse 1]
[Am]When the night sh[Am/G]ows and sign[F]als grow on radios
[Am]All the strange [G]things that [F]come and go as early warnings
[G]Stranded starfish [Em7]have no[F] place to hide
Still wait[D/F#]ing for the sw[G]ollen Ea[Em]ster [Am]tide
Theres [Am7/G]no point in direction, w[D/F#]e cannot even [Dm/F] choose a s[C]ide
[Verse 2]
[Am]I took the old [Am/G]track, the h[F]ollow shoulder, across the water,
[Am]On the tall cliffs[Am/G], they were [F]getting older, sons and daughters,
[G]The jaded under[Em7]world was[F] riding high,
And wave[D/F#]s of steel hurl[G]ed metal[Em] at t[Am]he sky,
And [Am7/G]as the nails sunk in the cloud, Th[D/F#]e rain was warm and[Dm/F] soaked the c[C]rowd.
[Cborus]
[C]Lord, here[G/B] comes the flood[Am]
[G]We'll say goo[E/G#]dbye, to flesh and [Am]blood
If a[E/G#]gain the seas are silent in [Am]any still alive
[E/G#]It'll be [E/F#]those who[E] gave thei[E/D]r isl[F]and to survive
Drink [Fm]up,[Gm] [G#]dreamers, [A#] you're runn[C]ing dry
[Verse 3]
[Am]When the flood [G6]calls, you [F]have no home, you have no walls,
[Am]In the thundercras[G6]h, you're a [F]thousand minds within a flash,
[G]Don't be afraid to [Em7]cry at [F]what you see,
The actor'[D/F#]s gone, there[G]'s on[E/G#]ly you a[Am]nd me,
And [Am7/G]if we break before the dawn, they'l[D/F#]l use [Dm/F]up what[G#] we use[C]d to be.
[Cborus]
[C]Lord, here[G/B] comes the flood[Am]
[G]We'll say goo[E/G#]dbye, to flesh and [Am]blood
If [E/G#]again the seas are silent in [Am]any still alive
[E/G#]It'll be [E/F#]those who gav[E]e their is[E/D]land to [F]survive
Drink [Fm]up,[Gm] [G#]dreamers, [A#] you're runn[C]ing dry
