Chords for Oysterband - Here Comes The Flood - Salmon Arm Root and Blues Festival

_ _ _ _ _ Thank you very very much indeed.
This song is absolutely perfect for so many of the festivals that we've played this year.
I've had a reign at some point or other.
So we've been singing this song.
It's called Here Comes the Flood.

[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ Factories in the Philippines
Are cutting holes in [C] brand new [F] jeans
[Bb] The cutting edge [F] _ consumerhood _
Rich kids in the [C] west you [F] see
They have no sense [C] of [F] irony
[Bb] And I'm losing [F] my sense of humor _ _
All across the blue sky
They betray us [C] in a [F] mighty line
[Bb] Trade winds are [F] getting stronger _
While we sip [C] she rides [F] in chairs
That bring us apples [C] from [F] Brazil
[Bb] New diseases from [F] the Congo
I've been praying since God knows when
My teeth are on America
_ [Bb] Socialism's often [F] jive
I'm [Bb] impressed, I'm [F] reconciled
Some people think I'm [Bb] crazy [F] but I'm [C] not _

The skyline of shantytown
[Bb] Everywhere our aspiration
[F] _ We're _ from CNN arrives
We watch the headlines of our lives
[Bb] In isolation
[F]
The [Bb] cool blue light of [F] isolation
_ I've been praying since God knows when
My teeth are on America _
[Dm] [Bb] Socialism's often [F] jive
I'm impressed, [Bb] I'm [F] reconciled
Some people think I'm [D] crazy [C] but I'm not
Sing it with [F] us

Ferocious like Ashton
Busy [Bb] man they are all in [F] a hurry
The children wear a stupid grin
Watching the roll of [C] bankers [F] in
Only the bad [Bb] guys and uncious [F] need to worry _
I've been praying since God knows [C] when
[F] My teeth are on America
_ [Bb] Socialism's often [F] jive
