The Flood by Katie Melua
The Flood
Tuning: I had my guitar tuned one step down.
Note: At the last C7 in the chorus, you could go straigt to the intro instead of
the C7. Play what sounds the best.
The "Don't trust your..."-part uses the same chords as the rest of the break.
Intro:
e|--0-1-1-3-3-4-4-3-3-1-1-0-0-----0--|
B|--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-3----|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|
So basicly its
Verse: C, Fmaj7
Chorus: G#, A#m, Fm, C#
Break: Am/C, F7, G#, Gm7, C (wish that last C was a maj7, though!)
C
Broken people get recycled
and I hope that I will sometimes be thrown off the pathways
Fmaj7
what I thought was my way home
wasn't the place I (know)
C
No, I'm not afraid of changing,
Certain, nothing's certain
what we own becomes our prison
Fmaj7
my possessions will be gone
C
back to where they came from
G# A#m Fm
blame
C# G# A#m Fm
no one is to blame
C# G# A#m
as natural as the rain that falls
Fm C# C7
here comes the Flood again
See the rock that you hold onto
is it gonna save you
when the earth begins to crumble?
why'd you feel you have to hold on?
imagine if you let go
blame
no one is to blame
as natural as the rain that falls
here comes the Flood again
Am/C F7 G# Gm7 C
flush away the weight that pulls you down
Am/C F7 G# Gm7 C
Light the ways that freed from the dust
[flush away the weight that pulls you down]
don't trust your eyes
its easy to believe them
know in your heart
that you can leave a prison
[Light the ways that free from the dusk]
don't trust your mind
its not always listening
turn on the lights
and feel the ancient rhythm
don't trust your eyes
its easy to believe them [no one is to blame]
know in your heart [as natural as the rain]
that you can leave your prison [here comes the Flood again]
blame
no one is to blame
as natural as the rain that falls
here comes the Flood again
