A                E 
Love I found a flood 
              F#m7 
The flood was deep and wide 
    A          E 
It stretched over the back streets 
    F#m7 
Out to the countryside 
    A                  E 
The flood was dark and wet 
        D      F#m7 
Chilled my legs to the bone 
   A            E 
My feet swelled in my shoes 
                        F#m7 
Tripping on the bracken overgrown 
A              E         D#     F#m7 
Love I found a flood 
 

Interlude 
E   A   D F#m 


 
       E 
Love I found a flood 
   D             F#m7 
It trampled all the grass 
   A                E 
It swept the debris from the stone 
                F#m7 
And cut off the underpass 
    A                   E 
The flood split all the seams 
       D       F#m7 
Of the fattened rivers banks 
    A          E 
And in its putrid water 
                      F#m7 
The wrigglers writhed and stank 


{Instrumental} 
A   E   D F#m7 
 

 
A            E 
Mosquitos as big as Fairlanes 
F#m                   A 
Hovered there above, worms 
E 
Swung from the streetlights 
               F#m 
Safe from the water spiders arms 
 

 
   D     A       E     F#m 
Oh love I found a flood 
D             E      E    D 
Love I found a flood 
 

 
A              E 
Love I found a flood 
       D       F#m 
What a flood it had become 
     A                 E 
Its fingers stretched across my spine 
D                      F#m 
Slowly blocking out the sun 
    A         E 
But you dont see the flood 
D            F#m 
Do you my old friend 
          E        A 
You dont feel the dankness rising 
           D       F#m 
Or see the paths eroded end 
          A            E 
You dont see the city streets 
D         F#m 
Shrivelled to a husk 
    A       E 
But my love youll never see 
    D            F#m 
The beauty of the dusk 
         A                 E 
When the flood is lit like coloured glass 
D           F#m 
Lying peacefully and still 
      A      E 
As it covers all the ugliness 
       D         F#m 
Of the citys darker will 
        A                   E 
When it reflects clouds and handsome birds 
    D     F#m 
And old souls flying by 
    A              E 
You asked me why I love the flood 
    D      F#m 
And that my friend is why 
 

 
   A              E      F#m 
Oh love I found a flood 
D     E 
Love I found a flood 
   D     A       E  F#m 
Oh love I found a flood oooh 
   D             E 
Oh love I found a flood 
 

 
    A                E 
You see the flood is both these things 
                     F#m 
The darkness and the good 
    A               E 
The flood is all around us friend 
  D             F#m     F#m 
I wish you understood
