[Verse 1]
A D
Thunder’s up and the real live wires are talking,
A D
set me straight as the rain falls on New Orleans.
A D
Silver bells ring for treaties made by starlight,
A D
for Southern girls and their faces lit by fire-flies .
[Pre-Chorus]
E D A
And through the gutters there will be water, running wilder than the
E D A
sea and as the rain comes down, a thousand circles fade like you and me.
E D A
They cal us lovers because our bony legs are tied. Once more to seed
E D F#m E
but there ain’t nothing, I won’t risk to set this bird of love fly free.
[Chorus]
A F*
Shake your hair out and come and dance with me,
A F*
we are lonely with no good need to be.
A F*
Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea,
A F*
floods the delta and lovers’ eyes can see.
[Verse 2]
A D
Tonight is hot and there’s no wind from the ocean,
A D
I hear the drums as they bang across the water.
A D
Voodoo bells ring for treaties made by starlight,
A D
forgotten gold and greed and fear at midnight.
[Pre-Chorus]
E D A
And through the gutters there will be water, running wilder than the
E D A
sea and as the rain comes down, a thousand circles fade like you and me.
E D A
They cal us lovers because our bony legs are tied. Once more to seed
E D F#m E
but there ain’t nothing, I won’t risk to set this bird of love fly free.
[Chorus]
A F*
Shake your hair out and come and dance with me,
A F*
we are lonely with no good need to be.
A F*
Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea,
A F*
floods the delta and lovers’ eyes can see.
[Bridge]
F#m D A G
Do you remember how we held each other tight in sorrow,
D G A A
does it haunt you still?
F#m D A G
And in a single raindrop I can see all our tomorrows,
D G A A
baby, can’t you too?
[Chorus]
A F*
Shake your hair out and come and dance with me,
A F*
we are lonely with no good need to be.
A F*
Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea,
A F*
floods the delta and lovers’ eyes can see.
[Chorus]
A F*
Shake your hair out and come and dance with me,
A F*
we are lonely with no good need to be.
A F*
Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea,
A F*
floods the delta as wide eyes can see.
[End-Chorus] (Repeat and Fade Out)
A F*
Shake your hair out and come and dance with me,
A F*
I am lonely with no good need to be.
A F*
Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea,
A F*
floods the delta and lovers’ eyes can see.
