     The St. Francis dam disaster, man 
Em C                     G  F

  Until around midnight

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

     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

  Because that water seeks her own 
D                                 Em 
Five and one half hours she would flow 
        
She had    53 miles to go

     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

  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

Em        D        G 
  Under a peaceful sky
