Quiet Hollers - Flood Song

      [Intro]
Em G Em G Em G D

[Verse]
C                           G
All the drunks under the freeway
     Em                             D
are waiting for some flood to come around
           C                           G
and its so hard to keep my head above water
   D                              C
sometimes I just wanna let go and drown

C                          G
I live down where the river trash
     Em                      D
washes up all the way to street
      C                G
and every once in a while
             D
I find something worth keeping
              C                   Em
but I still ain't never found my feet

Em G Em G Em G D

C                                G
and I never paid much mind to storm warnings
      Em                              D
I say what's coming is coming all the same
          C                           G
and its a perk of living under the freeway
   D                              C
that you never get caught in the rain

C                              G
my whole life they've been talking about the big one
      Em                         D
but I never thought I'd see the day
           C                               G
when a tidal wave worthy of biblical remembrance
   D                                C     Em
would come to wash this whole city away

[Chorus]
Em                         G
and you can try to hold your own against it
   Em                G
you can stack them sandbags ten-high
Em                     G
I'll be floating down Main St on a life raft
D                           C
watching those barricades drift on by

Em G Em G Em G D
[Solo]

C                                   G
they don't hide hope under that freeway
      Em                            D
just one last stop on your way underground
          C                              G
and, no, I don't mind the thought of dying with the city
   D                             C
if we've all gotta drown

C                                     G
'cause there's a peace that comes with drowning
      Em                    D
I think I read that once anyway
   C                              G
a rush of a thing called dimethyltryptamine
   D                                C     Em
that comes right as your lungs give way

[Chorus]
Em                         G
and you can try to hold your own against it
   Em                  G
you can stack them sandbags ten-high
Em                     G
I'll be floating down Main St on a life raft
D                          C
watching those barricades drift on by

[Chorus]
Em                    G
you can try to hold your own against it
   Em                  G
you can stack them sandbags ten-high
Em                      G
I'll be floating down Main St on a life raft
D                           C                 Em
watching those barricades drift on by
