I Do Not Have the Power to Cause a Flood - Grace Petrie (and The Benefits Culture)

http://music.gracepetrie.com/track/i-do-not-have-the-power-to-cause-a-flood-2

Tuning: Standard

Tempo: 280bpm

Strumming pattern: d d dudu

lick:

e|-3---2---0------|
B|-3-----------3--|
G|-2--------------|
D|----------------|
A|----------------|
E|----------------|

At the very end, it becomes:

e|-3---2---0---2------|
B|-----------------3--|
G|--------------------|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------|

In the final verse, there's a walk up from Em to C twice, but it's not really a walk up in that it's just a chord that goes:

e|-x-|
B|-x-|
G|-0-|
D|-0-|
A|-0-|
E|-2-|

So just play that for a bar between Em and C.

CAPO ON 5 (this is for the studio version, in the BBC radio version she plays with a capo on 2)

Intro: G D G G C D G

G D G
I do not have the power to cause a flood

(walkdown)
C D G Em
I'm not like Storm from X-men who so ea-sily could

(walkdown)
C D G Em
Manipulate the weather, causing havoc where she stood

(strum once) (strum once, and pause)
C D G G G D
But if I had the power to cause a flood, I would
^
(pause for a bar here)
-------------------------------------------------------------

C Cadd9 G
Oh I'd send a flood to Russia right to Putin's door,

D Em
The waves of my destruction spanning miles,

C Cadd9 G
To wash away the prejudice and then ne-ver more would he make

(strum once) (lick)
D
Statements that equate us all to pe-do-philes

C D G Em
But instead give all Pussy Riot a dame-hood

(play 3 bars of G before walking down to C at next verse)
C D G
If I only had the power to cause a flood
--------------------------------------------------------------

C Cadd9 G
Oh I'd send one to Uganda where Museveni says

D Em
Gay and bi and trans-abnormals need a cure

C Cadd9 G
And until he finds one he's content to throw them all in jail

(strum once) (lick)
D
A life sentence of repentance but you can be sure that

C D G Em
Museveni definitely would

(play 3 bars of G before walking down to C at next verse)
C D G
Know it if I had the power to cause a flood
--------------------------------------------------------------

C D G C D Em C
And for Je-rem-y Clarkson, it's all just a bit of fun

(strum once) (strum once)
C G
For our highly paid celebrities, to use language of bigotry,

(strum once) (walk up)
D Em
And then make no apology, because no one sees a link between

C G
The things he thinks it's fine to tweet, and people yelled at in the street

(walk up)
D Em
And kids abused in every school, and the time my windows were bricked through

C Cadd9 G D
And Putin and Museveni, for UKIP and for Jeremy, and banter from the Top Gear lads,

(walk up) (strum once) (strum once)
Em C G
Yeah it's PC gone fucking mad and that's all just fine a-nd good

(strum once) (final lick) (strum once, let ring)
D G
But if I had the power to cause a flood - you can bet I would
