Here Comes the Flood Tabs & Lyrics by Peter Gabriel
Here Comes the Flood
guitar tabs lyrics
Put the capo on 2nd fret and go from there. If you want to simplify the chord
diagram, just use the base chords shown(without /extensions, which I think sounds good too).
Intro
( C4/7 Cm7 Eb/Bb G# ) 4x
Cm Bb6 G#
When the night shows and signals grow on radios
Cm Bb6 G#
All the strange things that come and go as early warnings
Bb Gm7 G#
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
G# F/A Bb G/B Cm
Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
Cm7/Bb F/A Fm/G# G# Eb
Theres no point in direction, we cannot even choose a side
Cm Bb6 G#
I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the water,
Cm Bb6 G#
On the tall cliffs, they were getting older, sons and daughters,
Bb Gm7 G#
The jaded underworld was riding high,
G# F/A Bb G/B Cm
And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky,
Cm7/Bb F/A Fm/G# G# Eb
And as the nails sunk in the cloud, The rain was warm and soaked the crowd.
Eb Bb/D Cm
Lord, here comes the flood
Bb G/B Cm
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
G/B Cm
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
G/B G/A G G/F G#
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
G#m Bbm B C# Eb
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
Cm Bb6 G#
When the flood calls, you have no home, you have no walls,
Cm Bb6 G#
In the thundercrash, you're a thousand minds within a flash,
Bb Gm7 G#
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see,
G# F/A Bb G/B Cm
The actor's gone, there's only you and me,
Cm7/Bb F/A Fm/G# G# Eb
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be.
Eb Bb/D Cm
Lord, here comes the flood
Bb G/B Cm
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
G/B Cm
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
G/C Ab]/Bb Ab Ab]/F# A]
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
G#m Bbm B C# Eb
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
