100 Year Flood - The String Cheese Incident
Chorus:
Ebm Dbm B E B Eb Db
The water's rising and the rain's still coming down
Db Eb E F# B
There's a river five feet deep running down Main Street
Ebm Dbm B E B Ebm Dbm
Grab your children and head for higher ground
Dbm B A E
'Cause the dam's broke loose
Dbm Ebm B
And the flood's gonna wash away this town.
Ebm E
In the winter of '96
Ebm E
Too much snow, and too much rain would mix
Ebm E
And when that winter day turned warm
Dbm F#
many a town would come to harm
Ebm E
And out on Chasebrook Road that night
Ebm E
That's where some people lost their lives
Ebm E
One hundred feet wide and fifty feet deep
Dbm F#
Was a hole where the road used to be
Chorus
Ebm E
Come hell or high water
Ebm E
Starts meaning a whole lot more
Ebm E
From Walton to Schoharie County
Dbm F#
No on knew how bad it would be
Ebm E
Some got out and walked away
Ebm E
There's others missing to this day
Ebm E
Scraps of clothing and paper
Dbm F#
Float across the water where they once were
Chorus
Notes:
This song is best played if you play all bar chords. Like when playing the Ebm and Dbm,
your fingering should look like this:
Ebm: e-6 Dbm: e-4
B-7 B-5
G-8 G-6
D-8 D-6
A-6 A-4
E-6 E-4
The solo comes between the second chorus and the verse following it. It lasts for a few minutes
and then goes back into "come hell or high water..." Good luck with it and enjoy the Cheese!
