Verse 1:
 E minorEm
Peace in the valley has gone
E minorEm
Now the weather rolls in from the west;
             C majorC
Storm clouds o’er the Pacific
   D MajorD             E minorEm
Will soon put our shores to the test.
    E minorEm
Another Indian summer is over
C majorC   D MajorD     E minorEm
…Here comes the rain;
             C majorC
It's British Columbia's trademark
 D MajorD           E minorEm
Come back to haunt us again.

Chorus:
 D MajorD       E minorEm     C majorC      E minorEm
Move to high ground, seek shelter with friends
C majorC       E minorEm     BB
Wait there and pray that when it all ends
       E minorEm          D MajorD
Something's left of what you've struggled for
C majorC         D MajorD
Something to keep you strong
BB       E minorEm
A augmentedA reason to carry on.

Verse 2:
      E minorEm
It's been hard driving rain for days
E minorEm
With a forecast as bleak as the sky;
                  C majorC
And the fear in the people and the raging river
  D MajorD         E minorEm
Do both in accordance rise.
  E minorEm
The order came down to evacuate
   E minorEm
All those from the danger zone;
             C majorC
Some walked away from a living
   D MajorD              E minorEm
And some walked away from their home.

Chorus:
 D MajorD       E minorEm     C majorC      E minorEm
Move to high ground, seek shelter with friends
C majorC       E minorEm     BB
Wait there and pray that when it all ends
       E minorEm          D MajorD
Something's left of what you've struggled for
C majorC         D MajorD
Something to keep you strong
BB       E minorEm
A augmentedA reason to carry on.

Verse 3:
   E minorEm
On a path of destruction
C majorC    D MajorD   E minorEm
…Fueled by the rain;
  C majorC    D MajorD    C majorC
An act of God or science
D MajorD          E minorEm
There's no one to take the blame.
    E minorEm
For a flood that swept through the valley
C majorC   D MajorD      E minorEm
…And swallowed the land;
   C majorC    D MajorD     C majorC
With all her power and fury
D MajorD          E minorEm
Well you'd swear that she'd been damned.


Chorus:

C majorC       E minorEm     BB

       E minorEm          D MajorD
Something's left of what you've struggled for
C majorC         D MajorD
Something to keep you strong
BB       E minorEm
A augmentedA reason to carry on.
