Here Comes The Flood Chords

(ver. 3)
Peter Gabriel
[Intro]
(A4/7  Am7  C/G  F) (x4)

[Verse 1]
Am               Am/G        F
When the night shows and signals grow on radios
Am              G           F
All the strange things that come and go as early warnings
G                 Em7    F
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
          D/F#           G       Em   Am
Still waiting  for the swollen Easter tide
       Am7/G                   D/F#          Dm/F       C
Theres no point in direction, we cannot even  choose a side

[Verse 2]
Am             Am/G        F
I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the water,
Am                Am/G        F
On the tall cliffs, they were getting older, sons and daughters,
G              Em7      F
The jaded underworld was riding high,
        D/F#           G       Em   Am
And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky,
    Am7/G                             D/F#               Dm/F         C
And as the nails sunk in the cloud, The rain was warm and soaked the crowd.

[Chorus]
C         G/B             Am
Lord, here comes the flood
G            E/G#                Am
We'll say goodbye,  to flesh and blood
    E/G#                        Am
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
E/G#     E/F#     E         E/D  F
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
      Fm Gm G#        A#          C
Drink up,   dreamers,  you're running dry

[Verse 3]
Am             G6         F
When the flood calls, you have no home, you have no walls,
Am                G6          F
In the thundercrash, you're a thousand minds within a flash,
G                  Em7    F
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see,
          D/F#         G    E/G#    Am
The actor's gone, there's only you and me,
    Am7/G                              D/F#  Dm/F   G#     C
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be.

[Chorus] 
C         G/B             Am
Lord, here comes the flood
G            E/G#               Am
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
   E/G#                         Am
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
E/G#     E/F#         E         E/D     F
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
      Fm Gm G#        A#          C
Drink up,   dreamers,  you're running dry
