Verse 1:
A augmentedA        D MajorD     A augmentedA
My folks own the land round here
    A augmentedA             E MajorE     A augmentedA
And our big old house now for some fifty odd years
A augmentedA        D MajorD     A augmentedA
We'd all seen a few rough days
   A augmentedA                 E MajorE   A augmentedA
But I never dreamed I'd watch it all get swept away

Verse 2:
A augmentedA            D MajorD   A augmentedA
No one knows what causes angry rain
     A augmentedA                     E MajorE     A augmentedA
The water rushed right through this town just like a great big train
A augmentedA           D MajorD  A augmentedA
Years of hard work and memories
  A augmentedA                E MajorE     A augmentedA
Are floatin' down big river on their way out to sea


Chorus:
D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD
After the flood, after the flood
  D MajorD                 A augmentedA
The land it washed away, felt like my flesh and blood
  A augmentedA                F# minorF#m
I'd rather be shovelin' through the slush and mud
         A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Than to leave my home
       D MajorD
Where I grew up
     A augmentedA E MajorE     A augmentedA
Life goes on after the flood


Verse 3:
  A augmentedA         D MajorD     A augmentedA
The Clover Inn Bar was hit pretty hard
  A augmentedA              E MajorE    A augmentedA
The piano's lyin' in the street broken apart
  A augmentedA            D MajorD   A augmentedA
My favorite old oak tree's rooted up
     A augmentedA           E MajorE     A augmentedA
But I'll plant myself a new one after the flood

Chorus:
D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD
After the flood, after the flood
  D MajorD                 A augmentedA
The land it washed away, felt like my flesh and blood
  A augmentedA                F# minorF#m
I'd rather be shovelin' through the slush and mud
         A augmentedA
Than to leave my home
       D MajorD
Where I grew up
     A augmentedA E MajorE     A augmentedA
Life goes on after the flood


Bridge:
 F# minorF#m
A augmentedA place to call your very own
A augmentedA
Means so much though it's a little soggy
F# minorF#m
After all the water's gone
   G+G         E MajorE       A augmentedA
I'll scrub it clean and make it home again


Solo:
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
A majorA E MajorE A augmentedA
A majorA D MajorD A augmentedA
A majorA E MajorE A augmentedA


Verse 4:
  A augmentedA             D MajorD     A augmentedA
A majorA natural disaster can't hold nothin' on me
   A augmentedA          E MajorE       A augmentedA
Their quakin' out west and freezin' back east
A augmentedA        D MajorD   A augmentedA
So I think I'll stick around
  A augmentedA            E MajorE   A augmentedA
And show a little faith in a weary town


Chorus:
D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD
After the flood, after the flood
  D MajorD                 A augmentedA
The land it washed away, felt like my flesh and blood
  A augmentedA                F# minorF#m
I'd rather be shovelin' through the slush and mud
         A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Than to leave my home
       D MajorD
Where I grew up
     A augmentedA E MajorE     A augmentedA
Life goes on after the flood
D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD
After the flood, after the flood
  D MajorD                 A augmentedA
The land it washed away, felt like my flesh and blood

I'd rather be shovelin' through the slush and mud
         A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Than to leave my home
       D MajorD
Where I grew up
     A augmentedA E MajorE     A augmentedA
Life goes on after the flood
