Five Feet High And Rising Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
[A]How high's the water, mama?
Two feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
She said it's two feet high and risin'

[Verse 1]
We can [A]make it to the road
in a homemade boat
That's the [D]only thing we got left that'll float
It's [E]already over all the wheat and oats
Two feet high and [A]ri sin'

[Chorus 2]
[C]How high's the water, mama?
Three feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
She said it's three feet high and risin'

[Verse 2]
Well, the [C]hives are gone
I lost my bees
 The [F]chickens are sleepin'
In the willow trees
[G]Cow's in water up past her knees
Three feet high and [C]ri sin'

[Chorus 3]
[D]How high's the water, mama?
Four feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?

[Verse 3]
She said it's four feet high and risin'
[D]Hey, come look through the window pane
 The [G]bus is comin' gonna take us to the train
[A]Looks like we'll be blessed
with a little more rain
Four feet high and [D]ri sin'

[Chorus 4]
[E]How high's the water, mama?
Five feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
She said it's five feet high and risin'

[Verse 4]
Well the [E]rails are washed out north of town
 [A]We gotta head for higher ground
We [B]can't come back till the water goes down
Five feet high and [E]ri sin'
Well, it's five feet feet high and risin
