(NC) All the boys who called their mothers on that day D G Em D
(NC) Were no tough bunch, but they had the nerves, to go and say D G Em A

A			     G
That all your secrets were drowned
A			     G
With the pioneers who were flooded from this town
A			     G
They packed their bags only moments too late
G									D
With the pounding waves crashing up against the weakened water gates

D          G     A             D
     Dire times call for dire faces
          G               Em
So lovely dancer call and answer
          D             G
Trade our places in the night
             Em      G
Were running barefoot you and I
G                   G			D
Dead lovers salivate broken hearts tessellate tonight


     A            G
We beat them down again
     A             G
Its no fun playing cowboy for pretend
     A                   G
We'll show them what the backs of our hands are for
                                           A
The divide is clear in the coming year the rich will take the poor

D          G     A             D
     Dire times call for dire faces
          G               Em
So lovely dancer call and answer
          D             G
Trade our places in the night
             Em      G
Were running barefoot you and I
