Verse 1:
A                E
Love I found a flood
              F#m7
The flood was deep and wide
    A          E
It stretched over the back streets
    F#m7
Out to the countryside
    A                  E
The flood was dark and wet
        D      F#m7
Chilled my legs to the bone
   A            E
My feet swelled in my shoes
                        F#m7
Tripping on the bracken overgrown
A              E         D#     F#m7
Love I found a flood

[Interlude]
E   A   D F#m


Verse 2:
       E
Love I found a flood
   D             F#m7
It trampled all the grass
   A                E
It swept the debris from the stone
                F#m7
And cut off the underpass
    A                   E
The flood split all the seams
       D       F#m7
Of the fattened river’s banks
    A          E
And in its putrid water
                      F#m7
The wrigglers writhed and stank


[Instrumental]
A   E   D F#m7


Bridge:
A            E
Mosquitos as big as Fairlanes
F#m                   A
Hovered there above, worms
E
Swung from the streetlights
               F#m
Safe from the water spiders’ arms


Chorus:
   D     A       E     F#m
Oh love I found a flood
D             E      E    D
Love I found a flood


Verse 3:
A              E
Love I found a flood
       D       F#m
What a flood it had become
     A                 E
Its’ fingers stretched across my spine
D                      F#m
Slowly blocking out the sun
    A         E
But you don’t see the flood
D            F#m
Do you my old friend
          E        A
You don’t feel the dankness rising
           D       F#m
Or see the path’s eroded end
          A            E
You don’t see the city streets
D         F#m
Shrivelled to a husk
    A       E
But my love you’ll never see
    D            F#m
The beauty of the dusk
         A                 E
When the flood is lit like coloured glass
D           F#m
Lying peacefully and still
      A      E
As it covers all the ugliness
       D         F#m
Of the city’s darker will
        A                   E
When it reflects clouds and handsome birds
    D     F#m
And old souls flying by
    A              E
You asked me why I love the flood
    D      F#m
And that my friend is why


Chorus:
   A              E      F#m
Oh love I found a flood
D     E
Love I found a flood
   D     A       E  F#m
Oh love I found a flood oooh
   D             E
Oh love I found a flood


Bridge:
    A                E
You see the flood is both these things
                     F#m
The darkness and the good
    A               E
The flood is all around us friend
  D             F#m     F#m
I wish you understood


Outro:
