St Francis Dam Disaster

Em C                        G
     There was a well known water master man
Em C            G  F
     He was the king
Em            D    G
  He could do anything

Em C                 G
     The St. Francis dam disaster, man
Em C                     G  F
     Thought she was all right
Em       D        G
  Until around midnight


[Chorus]
Em             F               C
  Because that water seeks her own
    D               Em
She had a desire to flow
        N.C.
She was    looking for somewhere to go

[Verse 2]
Em C                        G
     She was a slave to the great metropolis
Em C                 G  F
     She was feeling choked
Em               D            G
  She pushed the wall till it broke

Em C                     G
     When they heard the great apocalypse
Em    C                 G F
   At powerhouse number 2
Em                D                  G
  Well, there was nothing they could do


[Chorus]
Em             F               C
  Because that water seeks her own
D                                 Em
Five and one half hours she would flow
        N.C.
She had    53 miles to go

[Verse 3]
Em C                   G
     A cascade down to Santa Clara way
Em C              G  F
     Near 60 feet high
Em            D    G
  Now she's a mile wide

Em C                      G
     It was clear she was going far away
Em C                       G  F
     And whole towns were, too
Em          D          G
  A few got lucky in Piru


[Chorus]
Em             F               C
  Because that water seeks her own
D                               Em
  But four more hours she would flow
        N.C.
She had    29 miles more to go

[Verse 4]
Em C                    G
     She carried in her every kind of thing
Em       C                   G  F
  House, tree, and telegraph pole
Em           D        G
  Some say a thousand souls

Em    C                     G
   At 3 A.M. she gave Santa Paula a ring
Em         C             G  F
   She was still 25 feet high
Em        D        G
  Under a peaceful sky


[Chorus]
Em             F               C
  Because that water seeks her own
D                              Em
  But two more hours she would flow
        N.C.
She had     19 miles more to go


[Verse 5]
Em N.C.       C  N.C.           G N.C.
     It was a real bad night in little Saticoy
Em N.C.  C  N.C.         G N.C.
      El Rio, then Montalvo
Em          D             G
  How many, no one really knows

Em C                   G
     Ventura Beach was very scary, boy
Em   C        G  F
   Humanity a-pile
Em           D     G
  She went a final mile


[Chorus]
Em             F               C
  Because that water seeks her own
D                        Em N.C.
  Into the sea the water flowed
Em  N.C.
  Now forever she would go
