Song:	The Flood
Artist: Katie Melua
Album:  
Lyrics: From hibeamlyrics.com

Tuning: I had my guitar tuned one step down.

Note: At the last C7 in the chorus, you could go straigt to the intro instead of 
the C7. Play what sounds the best.The "Don't trust your..."-part uses the same chords as the rest of the break.

Intro:

e|--0-1-1-3-3-4-4-3-3-1-1-0-0-----0--|B|--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-3----|G|-----------------------------------|D|-----------------------------------|A|-----------------------------------|E|-----------------------------------|

So basicly its

Verse: C, Fmaj7
Chorus: G#, A#m, Fm, C#
Break: Am/C, F7, G#, Gm7, C (wish that last C was a maj7, though!)



CBroken people get recycled

and I hope that I will sometimes be thrown off the pathways
			   Fmaj7what I thought was my way home

wasn't the place I (know)
CNo, I'm not afraid of changing,

Certain, nothing's certain

what we own becomes our prison
			Fmaj7my possessions will be gone
			Cback to where they came from



G#  A#m  Fmblame
C#	     G#  A#m  Fmno one is to blame
     C#		   G#       A#mas natural as the rain that falls
      Fm	C#	C7here comes the Flood again



See the rock that you hold onto
is it gonna save you
when the earth begins to crumble?
why'd you feel you have to hold on?
imagine if you let go


blame
no one is to blame
as natural as the rain that falls
here comes the Flood again


Am/C   F7       G#          Gm7       Cflush away the weight that pulls you down
Am/C      F7       G#      Gm7     CLight the ways that freed from the dust

[flush away the weight that pulls you down]
don't trust your eyes
its easy to believe them
know in your heart
that you can leave a prison

[Light the ways that free from the dusk]
don't trust your mind
its not always listening
turn on the lights
and feel the ancient rhythm

don't trust your eyes
its easy to believe them [no one is to blame]
know in your heart [as natural as the rain]
that you can leave your prison [here comes the Flood again]

blame
no one is to blame
as natural as the rain that falls
here comes the Flood again
