Here comes the Flood by Peter Gabriel / Genesis Interpretation by Doug Winston.
Worked this one out on an Oscar Schmidt 21 chord Autoharp.
It?s what I play, and it fits on the back of the motorcycle better that a guitar.
Remember, harpists make better pluckers!
I hope somebody finds this useful...just tryin? to give back a little for all the folks that need it.

A few notes-
- first verse - Not sure if it?s ?Easter? or ?eastern? tide
- second verse - Not sure if it's "soaked the crowd" of "soaked the ground"
(Think it's crowd to rhyme with cloud)
- third verse - Gabriel uses the line ?Don?t be afraid to cry out loud? or ?aloud? in his solo version of this song.
[Dm] When the night shows
the [Bb] signals grow, on radios;
[Dm]all the strange things
they [Bb] come and go, as early warnings.
[C7] Stranded starfish have no [Gm] place to hide
still [Bb] waiting for the [C7] swollen Easter [Dm] tide.
There?s [F] no point in direction, we [Gm] cannot
even [Bb] choose a [F] side.
[Dm] I took the old track
the [Bb] hollow shoulder, across the waters;
[Dm]On the tall cliffs
they were [Bb] getting older, sons and daughters.
The [C7] jaded underworld was [Gm] riding high,
[Bb] waves of steel hurled [C7] metal at the [Dm]sky.
And [F] as the nail sunk in the cloud, the [Gm] rain was warm and [Bb] soaked the [F] crowd.
[F] Lord, here [C7] comes the [Dm] flood,
[C7] we will say [A7] goodbye to flesh and [Dm] blood.
If [A7] again, the seas are silent in [Dm] any still alive,
[A7] it?ll be those who gave their islands [Bb] to survive.
Drink up, [C7] dreamers, you?re [F] running dry.
[Dm] When the flood calls
you [Bb] have no home, you have no walls;
[Dm]in the thunder crash
you?re a [Bb] thousand minds, within a flash.
[C7] don?t be afraid to cry at [Gm] what you see
the [Bb] actors gone, there?s [C7] only you and me [Dm].
And [F] if we break, before the dawn, they?ll[Gm] use up what we [Bb] used to [F] be.
[F] Lord, here [C7] comes the [Dm] flood,
[C7] we will say [A7] goodbye to flesh and [Dm] blood.
If [A7] again, the seas are silent in [Dm] any still alive,
[A7] it?ll be those who gave their islands [Bb] to survive.
Drink up, [C7] dreamers, you?re [F] running dry.
[F] Lord, here [C7] comes the [Dm] flood,
[C7] we will say [A7] goodbye to flesh and [Dm] blood.
If [A7] again, the seas are silent in [Dm] any still alive,
[A7] it?ll be those who gave their islands [Bb] to survive.
Drink up, [C7] dreamers, you?re [F] running dry.
