(strumming pattern d.XXXXX.d.XXXXX.d.XXd.XX)
A#m
I am from Basra's state right from the desert fronts
G#
but I will never wait at border posts not once
a nomad all my life all since Sheherazade,
A#m
when will the day arrive that will save us from the flood!
I'm from Kham's high walls, my head to sky is close,
G#
the mountains here have souls, beneath eternal snows,
a Sherpa all my life on peaks and cliffs I scud
F# G#
when will the day arrive that will save us from the flood!
A#m
when will the day arrive that will save us from the flood!
What are you waiting for?
Fm
The earth maybe to roar?
D#m
The sun to burn no more?
F# G#
Till this world has no shore?
A#m
Tell me what are we waiting for?
Fm
The earth maybe to roar?
D#m
The sun to burn no more?
F# G#
Till this world has no shore?
A#m
Tell me what are we waiting for?
I'm from a forest deep along the Amazon
G#
and secrets I do keep of plants and life unknown
just living all my life, I hear the falls' wild thud
A#m
when will the day arrive that will save us from the flood!
I'm sailing adrift, a ship without the wind
G#
I'm praying I'll get swift, where no one waits for me
been lost for all my life, Odysseys to Illiads
F# G#
When will the day arrive that will save us from the flood!
A#m
When will the day arrive when we save ourselves from flooding!
