the streets of vancouver are flooded
C F G
with the blood of the sleepwalking dead
Am G
dreamed we walked on this river together
F G Am
his greasy hands pulled us in ’bove our heads
C F
this land’s ancient insides are burning
C F G
the fiery pine needle cooks her bones
Am G
told me if i burn bright like she does
F G Am
come winter i won’t make it home
C G Am F
so follow me out through grey rain , and darker doubt
C G Am F
follow me back , coals are red , soles are black
Am G Am G
said you’d follow me to the end of the earth
F G C
but the end of me is bound to come first
C F
calgary’s gold is someone’s curse
C F G
seen the good life get better as the livin’ gets worse
Am G
came to you oil rich and angry
F G Am
but the power weighed more than it’s worth
C G Am F
so you follow me west to keep fire off my chest
C G Am F
and you follow me east to console the icy beast
Am G Am G
said you follow me to the end of the earth
F G C
but the end of me is bound to come first
Am G
lady; i know its a life that you long for
C Am
i’ll win it for you if i can
Am G
folks says there’s a good flood that’s coming
C F
and i’ve seen the drowning’s begun
Dm G C
this river has swept up your man
