      In the winter of '96
   Ebm7                                     E2
      Too much snow, too much rain would mix
   Ebm7                              E2
      And when that winter day turned warm
   Dbm7                      F#
      Many a town will come to harm

      And out on Chasebrook Road that night
      That's where some people lost their lives
      One hundred feet wide and fifty feet deep
      Was a hole where the road used to be

                       The water's rising and the rain's still coming down
                       There's a river five feet deep running down Main Street
                       Grab your children and head for higher ground
                       Dam's broke loose - flood's gonna wash away this town
                                                *Solo*  (verse & chorus (x2))

      Come hell or high water
      Starts meaning a whole lot more
      From Walton to Schoharie County
      No one knew how bad it would be

      Some got out and walked away
      There's other missing to this day
      Scraps of clothing and paper
      Float across the water where they once were

                       The water's rising and the rain's still coming down
                       There's a river five feet deep running down main street
                       Grab your children and head for higher ground
                       Dam's broke loose - flood's gonna wash away this town
                    A2                              E2                     E2       F#2        B2
                       Dam's broke loose - flood's gonna wash away this town...
