Chords for Bette Midler - Here Comes the Flood

_ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ When the night glows, [A] the signals grow on the radio _
[C#m] And the strange winds, they all come and go
They're early [C#m]
warnings _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I take the old [A] hollow shoulder by the [C#m] water
On the tall cliffs, they're [A] all getting older
Sons and daughters, [G#m] stranded, starved
Families [A] with no place to hide
Waiting, lost, and swollen [C#m] Easter time
_ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ [A] Even choose [E] a side _
Oh Lord, _ hear us
[C#m] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
[G#] And yet I know that we can't stand [C#m] the rising _ _
[G#] Provide, provide for time [A] of life
[Am] Drink up
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[C#m] And when the flood comes, [A] you have no hope
You have no [C#m] walls
In the thunder [A] crash, a thousand minds go
In a [B] flash, jaded on the world, the [A] rising highs
Waves of steel and metal, [C] rivers [C#m] of skies
_ [B] And as the rain cuts through the clouds
[A#m] The [A] rain so warm will soak [E] This crowd
Oh Lord, _ hear [C#m] us
And _ _
[B] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[Cm] yet I [G#] know that we can't [C#m] stand the rising _ _
[Cm] Provide, provide for [A] time of life [Am] Drink up
_ [E] Oh _ _ _ Lord, hear [C#m] us _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ And [C#m] yet _ _ _
[G#] _ we can't stand
[C#m] _ _ _ _
[G#] _ Provide, _ [C#m] _ _ _
