C G Em Em (+F#)
There was a well known water master man
C G F
He was the king
Em Em(+G) Em D G Em Em(+F#)
He could do anything
C G Em Em (+F#)
The St. Francis Dam Disaster man
C G F
Thought she was alright,
Em Em(+G) D G
Until around midnight
Em F C
Because that water seeks her own
D Em
She had a desire to flow
Em D D D D2 Em
She was looking for somewhere to go
[VERSE 2]

C G Em Em (+F#)
She was a slave to the great metropolis
C G F
She was feeling choked
Em Em(+G) Em D G Em Em(+F#)
She pushed the wall 'till it broke
C G Em Em(+F#)
when they heard the great apocalypse
C G F
At power house number two
Em Em(+G) Em D G
Well there was nothing they could do
Em F C
Because that water seeks her own
D Em
Five and one half hours she would flow
Em D Em
She had fifty-three miles to go

[VERSE 3]
Em Em(+F#) Em
C G Em Em(+F#) Em
A cascade down to Santa Clara way
C G F
Near sixty feet high
Em Em(+G) Em D G Em Em(+F#) Em
Now she's a mile wide
C G Em Em(+F#) Em
It was clear she was going far away
C G F
and whole towns were too
Em Em(+G) Em D G
A few got lucky in Piru
Em F C
Because that water seeks her own
D Em
But four more hours she would flow
Em D Em
She had twenty-nine miles more to go

Em Em(+F#) Em C G F
Em Em(+G) Em D G
[VERSE 4]
Em Em(+F#) Em
C G Em Em(+F#) Em
She carried in her every kind of thing
C G F
House, tree, telegraph pole
Em Em(+G) Em D G Em Em(+F#) Em
Some say a thousand souls
C G Em Em(+F#) Em
At three A.M. she gave Santa Paula a ring
C G F
She was still twenty-five feet high
Em Em(+G) Em D G
Under a peaceful sky
Em F C
Because that water seeks her own
D Em
But two more hours she would flow
Em (harmonics)
She had nineteen more miles to go
[VERSE 5] - same chords
It was a real bad night in little saticoy
El Rio then Montalvo
How many know one really knows
Ventura beach was very scary, boy
Humanity a pile
She went her final mile
Because that water seeks her own
Into the sea the water flowed
And now for forever she would go
