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

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


Instrumental:
Em Em Em  x2


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


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


Interlude:

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


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