Peter Gabriel Here Comes the Flood Guitar Chord

Here Comes The Flood by Peter Gabriel

Transcribed this for playing on an Oscar Schmidt OS120 Autoharp back in the days of OLGA. Thought some old school pluckers might still find it useful.

Dm 
When the night shows
    Bb
the signals grow on radios
Dm 
All the strange things
     Bb
they come and go, as early warnings
C7                        Gm
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
      Bb              C7             Dm
still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
        F      
There's no point in direction
   Gm          Bb       F
we cannot even choose a side.

Dm
I took the old track
    Bb
the hollow shoulder, across the waters
Dm
On the tall cliffs
          Bb
they were getting older, sons and daughters
    C7                   Gm
The jaded underworld was riding high
Bb                    C7           Dm
Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
    F
and as the nail sunk in the cloud,
    Gm                Bb         F
the rain was warm and soaked the crowd.

[CHORUS ]

F          C7        Dm
Lord, here comes the flood
C7                     A7        Dm    
We will say goodbye to flesh and blood
   A7                           Dm         
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
A7                                   Bb 
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Bb        C7               F           (Bb F) 
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.

Dm 
When the flood calls
    Bb
You have no home, you have no walls
Dm
In the thunder crash
         Bb
You're a thousand minds, within a flash
C7                        Gm
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see
    Bb                   C7           Dm
The actors gone, there's only you and me
    F      
And if we break before the dawn,
        Gm             Bb      F
they'll use up what we used to be.


F          C7        Dm
Lord, here comes the flood
C7                     A7        Dm    
We will say goodbye to flesh and blood
   A7                           Dm         
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
A7                                   Bb 
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Bb        C7               F           (Bb F) 
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.
