Intro: A   D  A    B     A  D  A      E    A 


verse 1:  

          A           D       A 
Like they said in the days of old  
             A               B 
One day your faces will grow mold  
        A           D        A 
For the judgment is close at hand  
         A          E             A 
When the water will take back the land  


verse 2:  

         A         D    A 
From the tallest of the tall  
       A               B 
To the pick-axe on the wall  
           A      D       A 
When every bit of soul is canned  
    A          E             A 
The water will take back the land  


verse 3: 

          A          D             A 
There's a blow-dryer stinging your eyes  
              A                  B            
Where the alcohol is starting to rise  
      A             D        A 
And a firehose on a marching band  
         A          E             A 
When the water will take back the land  


verse 4: 

     A           D             A 
Your table wheel blew into the smoke  
      A                 B 
Where gravity certainly awoke  
            A         D            A  
There won't be no-one left you can stand  
         A          E             A 
When the water will take back the land  


Verse 5: 

    A            D           A 
The graveyard is starting to fry  
        A                     B 
And the moonshiners taking to the sky  
          A          D    A 
There's a stone turn into sand  
          A          E             A    
Where the water will take back the land
