C                                            F

The streets of Vancouver are flooded
C                                                   F       G

With the blood of the sleepwalking dead
Am                                             G                                

Dreamed we walked on this river together
F                      G                          Am

His greasy hands pulled us in 'bove our heads

 

C                                              F

This land's ancient insides are burning
C                                                F        G

The fiery pine needle cooks her bones
Am                                   G

Told me if I burn bright like she does
F                    G                           Am

Come winter I won't make it home

 

 C                G                         Am                  F

So follow me out through grey rain, and darker doubt
C                   G                           Am                    F

Follow me back, coals are red, soles are black
Am                      G                    Am            G

Said you'd follow me to the end of the earth
F                          G                              C

But the end of me is bound to come first

 

C                                         F

Calgary's gold is someone's curse
C                                                      F               G

Seen the good life get better as the livin' gets worse
Am                                            G

Came to you oil rich and angry
F                             G                                           Am

But the power weighed more than it's worth

 

C                       G                             Am                 F

So you follow me west to keep fire off my chest
C                     G                          Am                         F

And you follow me east to console the icy beast



Am                  G                        Am                       G

Said you follow me to the end of the earth
F                        G                                        C

But the end of me is bound to come first

 

Am                                      G

Lady; I know its a life that you long for 
C                               Am

I'll win it for you if I can
Am                                             G

Folks says there's a good flood that's coming
C                                                F

And I've seen the drowning's begun
Dm                       G                       C

This river has swept up your man
