Billy Bragg – King Tide And The Sunny Day Flood (Guitar)

G                 G         D                      Em
   Wouldn't it be wonderful   if we could save the world and all

C            G                 D              D
   Simply by collecting up tin cans and empty bottles

G                   G                D                     Em
   We all want to believe it's true,   but it don't matter what you do

C                   G        D                    G
   So long as we continue to burn our way through fossils

G                        G           D                    Em
   Now it should come as no surprise   to learn about the ocean's rise

C                 G                  D                    D
   Polar caps are melting with every year that the planet warms

G                     G          D                        Em
   Now people have to understand   we're going to feel it far inland

C                       G           D                G
   It's gonna shift the seasons and super-charge the storms

G       G                 D      Em
   King Tide is a-comin',   King Tide is a-comin'

C       G                          D                       D
   King Tide is a-comin', bringing floodin' on a sunny day

G       G                 D                    Em
   King Tide is a-comin',   can't you hear the melt waters runnin'?

C       G                       D                 G
   King Tide is a-comin', gonna sweep everything away

           D                         D            C                 G
   And you know, the oceans, they connect us all,   no one can just build a wall

D                    D                C              G
   We have to work together, we can't do this on our own

D                        D           C                      G
   To think that you can stand aside   is nothing more than foolish pride

               G       D    Em     Bm           C           D            G    G G G
   'cause everyone's a libertarian     till the brown water floods their home

G                      G             D                     Em
   Now you may live on higher ground   feeling like you're safe and sound

C                  G                 D                 D
   Thinking as you look around, this is your lucky day

G                 G             D                     Em
   But everyone beneath the sky   soon be looking for somewhere high and dry

C                  G            D                G
   Nothing you can ever do will keep them all at bay because

G           G                 D      Em
   The King Tide is a-comin',   King Tide is a-comin'

C           G                          D                       D
   The King Tide is a-comin', bringing floodin' on a sunny day

G       G                 D                    Em
   King Tide is a-comin',   can't you hear the melt waters runnin'?

C           G                       D                 G
   The King Tide is a-comin', gonna sweep everything away

C           G                    D             G   D Em Bm C D G
   The King Tide is a-comin', we have to act today
