C              Am
Let the waters rise 
F         G               C Am F G
wash this town into the sea 
C              Am
Let the waters rise 
F           G                C Am F G
and find my lover where she sleeps 
        F                               Am
cause i don't know where she is or what company she keeps 
C                   C7
all i know is where she should be 
F
so let the waters rise 
G                         
and bring her home to me 

C  G


Let the waters rise 
I'm too tired now for searching 
Let the waters rise 
and hide the tears i cried for that woman 
coz it just isn't fair that she's out there havin' fun 
when I'm stuck here and having none 
so let the waters rise 
bring me my only one

    F                   Fm
and I've been on my own sitting in my window 
C                                C7
waiting by the phone for you to call 
    F                         Fm      
and every time a wind blows i hear the subtle tone 
        Am                        G
of your laughter echo through the hall 

C              Am
Let the waters rise 
F                 G             C Am F G
set this lonesome heart adrift 
C              Am
Let the waters rise 
F           G         C
may they be cold and swift
