D     A
The water line 
   D      A
Is mighty high
             D
It rained so hard
                       A
Even my tears couldn't dry
        D           A
And the valley went still
            D          A
And all the lines went down
                E           D            A
The day the Mad River got a hold of this town

Chorus:
              E
And the river rolls
    D         A
One foot at a time
D        E
Over the bridges
        D         A
And the old water lines
            D           E
But there's hope in the valley
          D            A
After the hundred year flood
            D       E
Because the mad Mad River
D           A
Runs in our blood

D        A
Old lady jane
      D        A
She refused to go
                     D
She sat there on her porch
                              A
As the water was touching her toes
        D          A
And she closed her eyes
       D        A
Softly singin a tune
         E                             D        A
She said if the Mad River is goin then I'm goin too
