The Flood Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]
Dove, dove, you'll [F]be my [C]dove,
I'll take [F]you [C]as my love
[F]As my [C]branches grew,
I knew you'd fly away
I stood [F]tall and [C]proud,
the flood [F]had [C]covered the ground
[F]As a [C]deathly shroud,
you were safe with me
Forty [F]days and [C]nights, the rain [F]poured,
the [C]lightning [F]striked
You were [C]not alone for I
was here with thee
[F]Rest your weary [C]little wings,
it's [G]just the two of [C]us
[F]Now the world had [C]washed
away and [G]peace had [C]come
Vail of silence fell,
you hummed [F]sweet [C]like a bell
[F]Soothed more that [C]tongues could
tell soon I was asleep
When I awoke the sun broke through
the whole [F]world was [C]glassy blue
[F]Right then that I [C]knew,
it'd never be the same
[F]Rest your weary [C]little wings,
it's [G]just the two of [C]us
[F]Now the world had [C]washed
away and [G]peace had [C]come
Far off we [F]saw some [C]smoke,
sweet [F]lord it [C]was a boat
How she stayed afloat, it's a mystery
I lifted my branches high,
reach[F]ing in[C]to the sky
[F]Oh how you [C]coo'd and cried,
hope was found at sea
Twas then you took your trip,
a long [F]flight
[C]The ocean's grip, [F]oh how my [C]heart felt sick,
I wept most bitterly
I've known the age, I lived so long,
I've seen man [F]come
And I've [C]seen man gone, [F]little bird we [C]got it wrong,
man had found no peace
I've known the age, I lived so long,
I've seen man [F]come
And I've [C]seen man gone, [F]little bird we [C]got it wrong,
man had found no peace
I've known the age, I lived so long,
and I've seen man [Dm]gone
I've seen man [C]come, [Dm]little bird we got it wrong,
man had found no peace
