Verse 
Bb 
Chalk in the riverbed 
    F                                   Bb 
Was deposited by the ocean as it boiled off 
Bb 
Encased in calcium carbonate 
         F 
We could drown or we could solder 
Bb 
I climbed the ranks of militiamen 
        F                                        Bb 
And the Sadrites, and my parents felt a cautious pride 
Bb 
And disregarded Shari'a Law 
            F 
And put the Tigris in a trench now 

Pre-Chorus 
Bbsus2                                            Dm7 
Give us rain, give us rain, give us rain, give us rain, 
                      C 
Give us rain, give us rain, send us water

Send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks, 
                        C 
Send us trucks, send us tanks, send us IEDs 
Bbsus2                                                  Dm7 
Send us planes, send us planes, send us planes, send us planes, 
                        C 
Send us planes, send us planes, is the sky clear enough? 
Bbsus2                      Dm7   C 
Send us dust storms, woah-

Verse 
Bb 
The sand has lowered the vitamin 
    F                                              Bb 
Saturation point, put a straw under the bridge and suck 
Bb 
We made a pact with the Arakeen 
       F 
And we built ourselves a filter 
Bb 
The city hydro's undrinkable 
          F                                               Bb 
Shattered cinderblocks are their favorite things to talk about 
Bb 
We saw your face in the Guardian 
       F 
And it raised the circulation 

Pre-Chorus 
Bbsus2 
Send us rain, please transmit 
                        Dm7 
Please receive our dumb prayers, 
                 C 
Telepath, send a flood, send us an avalanche 
Bbsus2                                  Dm7 
Send us cold, send us ice, send us meteorites 
                      C 
Send us snow, send us hail, send us high speed rail 
Bbsus2                                     Dm7 
We can pay, we should pay, we will pay, we insist 
                   C 
No defaults but we must get down to Chechnya 
Bbsus2                                         Dm7 
We defend, we fight back, we plant bombs under tracks 
                        C 
We skip church, all the monotheists

           Bb
