BEFORE THE DELUGE
As recorded by Christy Moore
(From the 1993 Album KING PUCK)
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
N.C. C F C
Some of them were dreamers, some of them were fools
Am F C
Making plans and thinking of the future
F C
With the energy of the innocent, they were gathering the tools
Am F G C
They would need to make their journey back to nature
[Chorus]
Am C
When the sand slipped through the opening
F C
And their hands reached for the golden ring
Am G
And their hearts turned to each others hearts for refuge
Am F G C
In the troubled years that came before the deluge
[Verse 2]
F C
Some of them knew pleasure, some of them knew pain
Am F C
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
F C
On the wild and crazy wings of youth they went flying around in the rain
Am F G C
'Til their feathers once so fine were torn and tattered
[Chorus]
Am C
In the end they traded their tired wings
F C
For the resignation that living brings
Am F G
They traded love's bright and fragile glow for the glitter and the rouge
Am F G C
In a moment they were swept before the deluge
[Verse 3]
F
So let the music keep your spirits high (Let the music keep your spirits
high)
C F
Let the buildings keep your children dry
C G Am F C F
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by, by and by, by and by
C F G C
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
[Guitar Solo]
F C F C G C
