Intro:
C Am G G F
C Am G G F
Verse:
C Am F G
The air was getting heavy, I knew that it was coming
C Am F G
So I started up my Chevy, to keep the motor runnin'
C A F G
A storm came down upon us, and flooded all the rivers
C Am F G
Surrounded by pirahnas, and the doctors who deliver
PRECHORUS:
F Am Dm
Anything that you require
F Am G
Now the fields are all on fire
G
And I'm calling down the wire
CHORUS
C G Am F
La de da ... de da de da, batten down the hatches, Becky,
C G Am F
Open up the earth and sky. . . , waiting on a natural disaster
C G Am F
Sitting out on my front porch, watching storm clouds moving faster
C G F
Like a natural disaster
G F
C Am G G F
C Am G G F
VERSE 2:
C Am F G
With a hurricane between us, I saw it on the TV
C Am F G
I went down to Pheonix, and made my La De Da CD
PRECHORUS:
F Am Dm
And nobody got paid
F Am G
Just like the good old days
G
You could waste your life away
CHORUS
C G Am F
La de da ... de da de da, batten down the hatches, Becky,
C G Am F
Open up the earth and sky. . . , waiting on a natural disaster
C G Am F
Sitting out on my front porch, watching storm clouds moving faster
C G F
Like a natural disaster
G F
C Am G G F
C Am G G F
VERSE 3:
C Am F G
I left Nova Scotia, and headed down the coast
C Am F G
I tore a strip off Memphis, before I levelled Roanoake
C Am F G
I punished Pecos County, and headed for Las Crusades
C Am F G
Anyone around me, will be covered in my bruises
PRECHORUS:
F Am Dm
You want something to remember me by
F Am G
You can write my name in the sky
G
And sing la de da
CHORUS
C G Am F
La de da ... de da de da, batten down the hatches, Becky,
C G Am F
Open up the earth and sky. . . , waiting on a natural disaster
