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