Tuning: E A D G B E
This is intended to be played with open strings ringing out for all or most of the chords (G# is the possible
exception, it is disonant when played open, but I think the disonance works with the lyrical content. The
standard barre G# is fine if you don't prefer the open version).
C#m - x46650
Bsus4 - x24400
Asus2 - x02200
E/G# - 422400
E - 022100
G# - 466500 (alternatively 466544)
Am - x02210
[Intro]
C#m Bsus4 Asus2
C#m Bsus4 Asus2
[Verse 1]
C#m When the night shows,Bsus4 the Asus2signals grow on radios
C#m All the strange thingsBsus4, they Asus2come and as early warnings
BStranded starfish hE/G#ave no Asus2place to hide
Still Asus2waiting for theBsus4 swollen easteC#mrtide
There'sBsus4 no point in direction
We Asus2cannot even choose a Eside
[Verse 2]
C#m I took the old trackBsus4, the Asus2hollow shoulder across the waters
C#m On the tall cliffsBsus4 they werAsus2e getting older, sons and daughters
BThe jaded undeE/G#rworld wasAsus2 riding high
Asus2Waves of steel hurledBsus4 metal at theC#m sky
AndBsus4 as the nail sunk in the cloud
TheAsus2 rain was warm and soaked the Ecrowd
[Chorus]
ELord, here Bsus4comes the C#mflood
We'll Bsay goodbye to G#flesh and C#mblood
If aG#gain the seas are silent inC#m any still alive
G#It'll be those who gave their islandAsus2 to survive
DrinkAm up dreamers, you're Erunning dry
[Verse 3]
C#m When the flood callsBsus4 youAsus2 have no home, you have no wallls
C#m In the thunder crashBsus4 you're aAsus2 thousand minds, within a flash
BDon't be afraid toE/G# cry atAsus2 what you see
TheAsus2 actor's gone, there'sBsus4 only you andC#m me
AndBsus4 if we break before the dawn,
They'llAsus2 use up what we used to Ebe.
[Chorus]
ELord, here Bsus4comes the C#mflood
We'll Bsay goodbye to G#flesh and C#mblood
If aG#gain the seas are silent inC#m any still alive
G#It'll be those who gave their islandAsus2s to survive
DrinkAm up, dreamers, you'reE running dry.
