_ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] From a [F#] scientific point of view, [C#m] it is now very [F#m] likely that there [G#m] will be again another
ice [F#m] age quite soon in the world, that we shall [G#] have the [F#] north part of the [C#m] world all frozen
like [F#m] it used to be, and we're beginning to have [G#] natural disasters.
From a [C#m] scientist's study, [C#] it seems [C#] likely that we shall soon begin to have these great
changes in the Earth's climate so people [F#] will not be able to live where they [C#m] have, and the
oceans will [F#m] rise and many cities will be flooded, [C#] like London and [G#m] Calcutta and so on.
[C#] These things, they say, will [G#m] happen, according to [F#] scientific theories, in about [C#m] 40 years
[F#m] at the most, but maybe [G#m] even quicker.

_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ When the night [E] shows, [A] the signals grow on radios
_ _ All the strange things, [F#m] they [B] come and go
There's [F#] early warnings, [B] stranded [G#m] starfish have no [A] place to hide
_ Still waiting [F#] for the [B] swollen Easter [C#m] tide
_ _ _ _ _ There's no point in direction, _ [A#] we cannot [A] _ [B] even choose a side
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
I took the old [B] track, the [A] hollow shoulder, across the waters
[C#m] _ _
_ [G#] On the tall [C#m] cliffs, they were getting older, _ sons and [B] daughters
The jaded [G#m] underworld [A] was riding high, _ on waves [F#] of steel [B]-hulled metal [C] at the [C#m] sky
_ And [B]
as the neon sunk in the cloud, _ [A#] the rain was [A] warm and soaked [B] the _ [E]
crowd
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
Once _ _ [B] _ the [C#m]
flood _ _ _ _ will say goodbye [G#] _ to [C#m] flesh and blood
_ _ _ _ [Cm] If again [G#] the sea is silent [C#m] in any still alive
_ _ _ [Cm] It'll be those [G#] who gave [F#] their island [A] to survive
_ _ _ [Am] Drink up, _
[Bm] _ _ [Am] dreamers, [D] _ [E] you're running dry
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ When the flood [B] calls, you [A] have no home, you have no walls
[C#m] _ _
_ In the thunder [B] crash, you're a thousand miles within a flash
_ Don't be afraid [G#m] to cry [A] of what you see _
_ The actors [B] gone, there's only you [C#m] and me
_ And [G#m]
if we break before the dawn, [A#] we'll use up what [E] we used to _ be
_ _ _ _ _ Oh, _ _ _ [B] here comes the [C#m] flood
_ _ _ _ _ Will say goodbye [G#] to _ flesh and blood
_ _ _ _ [Cm] If again _ the sea is silent [C#m] in any still alive
_ _ _ It'll be [A#] those who gave [F#] their island [A] to survive
_ _ _ _ Drink [Bm] up, _
_ [Am] dreamers, [D] _ [E] you're running dry
