There was a well known water master man
Em C G F
He was the king
Em D G
He could do anything
Em C G
The St. Francis dam disaster, man
Em C G F
Thought she was all right
Em D G
Until around midnight
Em F C
Because that water seeks her own
D Em
She had a desire to flow
She was looking for somewhere to go

Verse 2:
Em C G
She was a slave to the great metropolis
Em C G F
She was feeling choked
Em D G
She pushed the wall till it broke
Em C G
When they heard the great apocalypse
Em C G F
At powerhouse number 2
Em D G
Well, there was nothing they could do
Em F C
Because that water seeks her own
D Em
Five and one half hours she would flow
She had 53 miles to go

Verse 1:
Em C G
A cascade down to Santa Clara way
Em C G F
Near 60 feet high
Em D G
Now she's a mile wide
Em C G
It was clear she was going far away
Em C G F
And whole towns were, too
Em D G
A few got lucky in Piru
Em F C
Because that water seeks her own
D Em
But four more hours she would flow
She had 29 miles more to go

Em C G
She carried in her every kind of thing
Em C G F
House, tree, and telegraph pole
Em D G
Some say a thousand souls
Em C G
At 3 A.M. she gave Santa Paula a ring
Em C G F
She was still 25 feet high
Em D G
Under a peaceful sky
Em F C
Because that water seeks her own
D Em
But two more hours she would flow
She had 19 miles more to go
Verse 5
C G
It was a real bad night in little Saticoy
C G
El Rio, then Montalvo
Em D G
How many, no one really knows
Em C G
Ventura Beach was very scary, boy
Em C G F
Humanity a-pile
Em D G
She went a final mile
Em F C
Because that water seeks her own
D
Into the sea the water flowed
Em
Now forever she would go
