Here Comes The Flood chords by Peter Gabriel

Chords with lyrics

Put the capo on 2nd fret and go from there. If you want to simplify the chord
diagram, just use the base chords shown(without /extensions, which I think sounds good too).


Intro
(C4/7 Cm7Cm7 Eb/BbEb/Bb G#G#) 4x

C minorCm	    Bb6Bb6    G#G#
When the night shows and signals grow on radios
C minorCm	    Bb6Bb6     G#G#
All the strange things that come and go as early warnings
Bb majorBb         Gm7Gm7  G#G#
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
   G#G#    F/AF/A  Bb majorBb    G/BG/B  C minorCm
Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
    Cm7/Bb		     F/AF/A Fm/G# G#G#	    Eb MajorEb
Theres no point in direction, we cannot even choose a side

C minorCm	    Bb6Bb6     G#G#
I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the water,
C minorCm	     Bb6Bb6     G#G#
On the tall cliffs, they were getting older, sons and daughters,
Bb majorBb       Gm7Gm7   G#G#
The jaded underworld was riding high,
  G#G#     F/AF/A    Bb majorBb   G/BG/B  C minorCm
And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky,
  Cm7/Bb		        F/AF/A  Fm/G#  G#G#	   Eb MajorEb
And as the nails sunk in the cloud, The rain was warm and soaked the crowd.

Eb MajorEb	  Bb/DBb/D	   C minorCm
Lord, here comes the flood
Bb majorBb	   G/BG/B		 C minorCm
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
  G/BG/B            C minorCm
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
G/BG/B   G/AG/A   G+G     G/F G#G#
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
   G# minorG#m BbmBbm BB    C#C#	   Eb MajorEb
Drink up,  dreamers, you're running dry

C minorCm	    Bb6Bb6     G#G#
When the flood calls, you have no home, you have no walls,
C minorCm	     Bb6Bb6     G#G#
In the thundercrash, you're a thousand minds within a flash,
Bb majorBb         Gm7Gm7  G#G#
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see,
  G#G#    F/AF/A     Bb majorBb  G/BG/B  C minorCm
The actor's gone, there's only you and me,
  Cm7/Bb		         F/AF/A Fm/G#  G#G#	Eb MajorEb
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be.

Eb MajorEb	  Bb/DBb/D	   C minorCm
Lord, here comes the flood
Bb majorBb	   G/BG/B		 C minorCm
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
  G/BG/B             C minorCm
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
G/C   AbAb]/Bb   AbAb     AbAb]/F# A augmentedA]
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
   G# minorG#m BbmBbm BB    C#C#	   Eb MajorEb
Drink up,  dreamers, you're running dry
