Bruce Springsteen - Lost in the flood

^DThe raga^Cmuffin gunner is return^Din' home like a hu^Gngry runaway ^Bm7 He w^Calks through town all al^Done He must be from the fort ^Ghe hears the high school girls ^Bmsay

His ^Dcountryside's burnin' with wolf^D/Cman fairies dressed in d^Emrag for homic^Bmide The h^Cit and run, plead san^Dctuary, `neath a h^Goly stone they hi^Bmde They're ^Cbreakin' beams and cros^Dses with a s^Gpastic's reelin' perfe^Bmction ^CNuns run bald through ^DVatican halls pregnant, p^Gleadin' immaculate conceptio^Bmn And ^Deverybody's wrec^D/Cked on Main Street from dri^Emnking unholy blood ^{Bm C}Sticker smiles sweet as g^Dunner breathes deep, his a^Cnkles ca^Bmked in m^Emud And I said &^Cquot;Hey gun^Dner man tha^Emt's quicksand, th^Cat's quicks^Dand that ain't ^Emmud Have you throw^Cn your sen^Dses to^Em the war or did you l^Cose them in t^Dhe flood?" ... .... Em Am D

^CThat pure Ameri^Dcan brother, dull-e^Gyed and empty-fac^Bmed Races S^Cundays in Jer^Dsey in a Che^Gvy stock super eigh^Bmt He ri^Ddes `er low on the hip, on the s^D/Cide he's got Bound For Glory in r^Emed, White and blue flash pai^Bmnt He lea^Cns on the hood telling rac^Ding stories, the ki^Cds call him Jim^Bmmy The Sain^Emt Well the ^Emblaze and noise boy, he's g^Gunnin' that ^Ambitch loaded to blastin' poin^Emt He rides head first into a ^Ghurricane and dis^Amappears into a poin^Emt And there's ^Dnothin' left but some blood where the b^D/Cody fell That is, ^Emnothin' left that you could ^Bmsell

^CJust junk all across^D the horizon, a ^Creal hig^Bmhwayman's ^Emfarewell And he said &^Cquot;Hey kid, ^Dyou think th^Emat's oil? ^CMan, that a^Din't oil that's ^Emblood"

I ^Cwonder what he was t^Dhinking when he ^Emhit that storm Or w^Cas he just l^Dost in the ^Emflood?

Eighth ^CAvenue sailors in ^Dsatin shirts ^Hwhisper in the air^Bm Some ^Cstorefront incar^Dnation of Maria, she's p^Guttin' on me the ^Bmstare And ^DBronx's best a^D/Cpostle stands with his ^Emhand on his own hard^Bm ware ^CEverything stops, you hear ^Dfive, quick shots, the ^Ccops come ^Bmup for a^Emir And now the ^Emwhiz-bang gang from ^Guptown, they're s^Amhootin' up the ^Emstreet And that cat from the Bronx starts ^Glettin' loose but he gets ^Amblown right off his ^Emfeet And some ^Dkid comes blastin' round the ^D/Ccorner but a ^Emcop puts him right ^Bmaway He l^Cays on the street holding his leg screaming ^Dsomething in Spanish Still ^Cbreathing when ^BmI walked a^Emway And somebody said &^Cquot;Hey^D man did you^Em see that? His body hit the ^Cstreet with such a ^Dbeautiful ^Emthud" I ^Cwonder what the ^Ddude was sayin^Em' or ^Cwas he just ^Dlost in the ^Emflood? ^CHey man, ^Ddid you see ^Emthat, those ^Cpoor cats are ^Dsure messed ^Emup I ^Cwonder what ^Dthey were gettin' ^Eminto, or ^Cwere they just ^Dlost in the ^Emflood?
