Chords

A brilliant piece of anti-folk from one of his demo albums. If you have a harmonica in the key of A then feel free to play it between verses. Intro: A D A B A D A E A Verse 1:

          A           D       A
Like they said in the days of old 

             A               B
One day your faces will grow mold 

        A           D        A
For the judgment is close at hand 

         A          E             A
When the water will take back the land

Verse 2:

         A         D    A
From the tallest of the tall 

       A               B
To the pick-axe on the wall 

           A      D       A
When every bit of soul is canned 

    A          E             A
The water will take back the land

Verse 3:

          A          D             A
There's a blow-dryer stinging your eyes 

              A                  B           
Where the alcohol is starting to rise 

      A             D        A
And a firehose on a marching band 

         A          E             A
When the water will take back the land

Verse 4:

     A           D             A
Your table wheel blew into the smoke 

      A                 B
Where gravity certainly awoke 

            A         D            A 
There won't be no-one left you can stand 

         A          E             A
When the water will take back the land

Verse 5:

    A            D           A
The graveyard is starting to fry 

        A                     B
And the moonshiners taking to the sky 

          A          D    A
There's a stone turn into sand 

          A          E             A   
Where the water will take back the land
