The Flame In The Flood

Intro

C  Am
Am                   F
In the backwaters beyond fables and years
     C        E7
Is freedom in moving on
Am                         F
There's a silence that may be heard loud and clear
       C                 E7
In the simple, wild, and natural cadence
F
Keep my eyes opened
C
Keep my ears sharpened
E7
There's nothing to fear
Am
But fear itself in
F               C
Oh desperation, chasing horizons
E7                    Am
In the flame and the flood
Am                         F
Through the briers and the brambles in my tears
           C          E7        Am
There's no failure in true survival
                           F
Or the trials and tales of old that cut me near
      C              E7              F
Will help keep my he-ad above the water
F
Keep my eyes opened
C
Keep my ears sharpened
E7
There's nothing to fear
Am
But fear itself in
F               C
Oh desperation, chasing horizons
E7                    Am
In the flame and the flood
( Am  F  C  E7 )
