(PhilLynott @ ultimate-guitar.com) Song: The Flood Artist: Katie Melua Album: Lyrics: From hibeamlyrics.com 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: Ab, Bbm, Fm, C# Break: Am/C, F7, Ab, 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 Ab Bbm Fm blame C# Ab Bbm Fm no one is to blame C# Ab Bbm 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 Ab Gm7 C flush away the weight that pulls you down Am/C F7 Ab 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
