[Intro]
G C x4
(verse 1)
G
She never boarded up the windows, grandma like to say,
Em
She rode Every Storm, frying chicken just the same
G D/F#
Now Dallas brings the Lumber, puts new holes in the frame
Em D C
he never fills in the old ones, text his momma up in Maine it's looking bad again…
Am D
It's what the TV people say, oh the water so much warmer now, but it always looks the same.
G
Lapping at the train tracks, basin 30 miles wide,
Em
while the sun slips behind, like Fire in the Sky
C
And it's rainbows in your front yard, and it's Sirens going wild
Am D
Oh it's always been like this don't go soft on us child.
(Chorus)
G Em
And the waters rise, rolling in the dark the rain keeping time,
C
Beating like your heart, but you sing anyway
G
While the banjos they clawhammer their old drinking songs,
Am D
and the monsters outside, oh they howl along.
(Verse 2)
G
Trina worries from New York, about her brother and their friends
Em
they're still sitting in Magnolias, still listening to the wind
C
She found a place in Buffalo, big wide rooms to sleep them all
Am D
Half of what she pays in Brooklyn, between the highway in the mall
G
But her grandma and her brother, oh they're stubborn as they come
Em
They say go get on the subway, go and to have a little fun.
C Am
And forget about the troubles, that the Bayou sings alone, you've made it far north enough,
D
you don't need to come back home.
(Chorus)
G Em
And the waters rise, rolling in the dark the rain keeping time,
C
Beating like your heart, but you sing anyway
G
While the banjos they clawhammer their old drinking songs,
Am D
and the monsters outside, oh they howl along.
G Em C Am D
Ooohh
