C                   Am     F                  G
The air was getting heavy, I knew that it was coming

C                   Am    F                 G
So I started up my Chevy, to keep the motor runnin'

C                   A      F                   G
A storm came down upon us, and flooded all the rivers

C                Am     F                     G
Surrounded by pirahnas, and the doctors who deliver
PRECHORUS:
F           Am                    Dm
              Anything that you require

F           Am                G
    Now the fields are all on fire

G
And I'm calling down the wire
CHORUS
C                G         Am              F
La de da ...  de da de da, batten down the hatches, Becky,

C                     G          Am                      F
Open up the earth and sky. . . , waiting on a natural disaster

C              G               Am                    F
Sitting out on my front porch, watching storm clouds moving faster

C        G                     F
             Like a natural disaster
G F C Am G G F C Am G G F VERSE 2:
C      Am                    F               G
With a hurricane between us, I saw it on the TV

C              Am       F                     G
I went down to Pheonix, and made my La De Da CD
PRECHORUS:
F          Am               Dm
             And nobody got paid

F          Am                G
      Just like the good old days

G
You could waste your life away
CHORUS
C                G         Am              F

Open up the earth and sky. . . , waiting on a natural disaster

C              G               Am                    F
Sitting out on my front porch, watching storm clouds moving faster

C        G                     F
             Like a natural disaster

C           Am      F                   G
I left Nova Scotia, and headed down the coast

C                  Am       F                     G
I tore a strip off Memphis, before I levelled Roanoake

C                Am      F                  G
I punished Pecos County, and headed for Las Crusades

Anyone around me, will be covered in my bruises

F          Am                       Dm
  You want something to remember me by

F          Am                   G
   You can write my name in the sky

G
And sing la de da

             Like a natural disaster
