BEFORE THE DELUGE
(late for the sky)

G  /C  /G   /C   /G  /C  /G  /D

G
Some of them were dreaming
Some of them knew pleasing
Some of them were angry
          C                         G
          and some of them were fools
          and some of them knew pain
a the way         the earth was abused
         Em                     C
who were making plans    and   thinking
and for some of them     it was only
by the men who learned   how to forge
                     G      C
of the           future
the moment that mattered
her beauty into power  
G 
with the energy of the innocent
on the brave and crazy wings of youth
and they struggled to protect her from              
               C                     G
    they were gathering the      tools
    they went flying around in the rain
them          only to be     confused
           Em                  C
they would need to make their journey
and their feathers once so      fine
by the magnitude of her         fury
              G         C      G
back to      nature
grew tor and tattered
in the final hour
            Em                        G
while the sand    slipped through the o
and in the end    they traded their tired
and when the sand was gone and the time

-pening and their hands reached for the
-wings for the resignation that
arrived in the naked dawn only
G                            Em
golden ring     with their hearts
living brings  and ex     changed
a few survived and in    atempts
                     C
they turned to each other's hearts for
love's bright and  fragile glow
to   under   -     stand a    thing
      D                       C   G   D
for refuge   -        -
for the glitter and the rouge
so simple and so huge
       Em
in the troubled years that
and in a moment they were
believed that they were meant to
 C               G       C   1. G
came before the deluge
swept before the deluge
live after the deluge

now let the music keep our spirits high
G    C                            G
      and let the buildings keep our
           C     G                   D
children dry     let creation reveal it's
                     G    C        G   C
secrets and by and by      by and by
           G                   C
when the light that's lost within us 
               G  (tocoda%) D
reaches the sky
                repeat and fade
