[Intro]
G Bb C C Bb G   4x
 
[Verse]
      G         Bb          C
Come son, take hold of my hand now
      G         Bb          C
Come daughter, jump into my arms
      G             Bb            C         C            D
Come sweet darling wife, move quickly I'll keep us from harm
          G              Bb          C
Well, the water from the sky, it is coming
          G           Bb            C
And it's rising each minute of the day
     G            Bb            C         C             D
And soon our dear home and our pleasures will be washed away
 
 
[Chorus]
          Em                    C
There's a new horizon and it's coming my son
 Em               F     C    G
Coming soon but I don't know when
 Em                           C
When the sky will dry up and stop all this raging
 Em           D            G
When we'll be coming back again
 Bb                         C
The sun is trying to start shining
 G                       G
But the rain is pouring down
 Bb                       C
With the thunder and the lightning
 G                        G
With the rain is pouring down
 
[Interlude]

[Verse]
    G         Bb             C
For two long weeks it's been falling
    G                Bb             C
And rolling through streets of our town
        G            Bb              C                            D
Forcing families to flee from their homes, pulling crops from the ground
         G      Bb        C
We must leave behind our pleasures
     G              Bb             C
Yes darling we must leave them all behind
      G      Bb       C                             D
Come family now move quickly, higher ground we must find
 
 
[Chorus]
 Bb                         C
The sun is trying to start shining
 G                       G
But the rain is pouring down
 Bb                       C
With the thunder and the lightning
 G                        G
Where the rain is pouring down
 
      G            Bb           C         G            Bb        C
As I stand at this lonely hilltop, and I stare at the town down below
        G          Bb        C                    D
Tops of trees and muddy old roofs now all that do show
        G         Bb       C
As the tears roll down my cheeks
         G              Bb            C
And they match with the patter of the rain
            G                 Bb       C               D
Look in the distance for the horizon, pray we'll come again
 
 
[Chorus]
          Em                    C
There's a new horizon and it's coming my son
 Em               F     C    G
Coming soon but I don't know when
 Em                           C
When the sky will dry up and stop all this raging
 Em           D            G
When we'll be coming back again
 Bb                         C
The sun is trying to start shining
 G                       G
But the rain is pouring down
 Bb                       C
With the thunder and the lightning
 G                        G
With the rain is pouring down
