Peter Gabriel
Here Comes The Flood
*This is a piano song, I've transcribed it for guitar.
The chords explanations are at the bottom.*
C#m7, A, ....
C#m C#m/B
When the night shows
Amaj7
the signals grow on radios
C#m C#m/B
All the strange things
Amaj7
they come and go, as early warnings
B G#m7 Amaj7
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
Amaj7 F#/Bb B Cm7-5 C#m
still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
C#m Bbm7-5
There's no point in direction we cannot
F#m/C# A/C# E/B
even choose a side.
*same chords*
C#m....
I took the old track
the hollow shoulder, across the waters
On the tall cliffs
they were getting older, sons and daughters
The jaded underworld was riding high
Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain
was warm and soaked the crowd.
E B6 C#m
Lord, here comes the flood
B Cm7-5 C#m
We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
G#
If again the seas are silent
C#m
in any still alive
G#/C G#/Bb G# G#/F#
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Am Bm6/A C/A D/A E
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.
When the flood calls
You have no home, you have no walls
In the thunder crash
You're a thousand minds, within a flash
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see
The actors gone, there's only you and me
And if we break before the dawn, they'll
use up what we used to be.
Lord, here comes the flood
We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent
in any still alive
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.
