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

I ^Gdo not have the ^Dpower to cause a ^Gflood (walkdown) I'm ^Cnot like Storm from ^DX-men who so ^Gea-sily ^Emcould

(walkdown)

Ma^Cnipulate the ^Dweather, causing ^Ghavoc where she ^Emstood (strum once) (strum once, and pause) But if I ^Chad the power to ^Dcause a flood, ^GI would ^G ^G ^D ^ (pause for a bar here) -------------------------------------------------------------

Oh I'd ^Csend a flood to ^Cadd9Russia right to ^GPutin's door, The ^Dwaves of my destruction spanning ^Emmiles,

To ^Cwash away the ^Cadd9prejudice and then ^Gne-ver more would he make (strum once) (lick) ^DStatements that equate us all to pe-do-philes

But instead ^Cgive all Pussy ^DRiot a dame-^Ghood ^Em (play 3 bars of G before walking down to C at next verse) If I ^Conly had the ^Dpower to cause a ^Gflood --------------------------------------------------------------

Oh I'd ^Csend one to ^Cadd9Uganda where Mu^Gseveni says Gay and ^Dbi and trans-abnormals need a ^Emcure

And until he ^Cfinds one he's ^Cadd9content to throw them ^Gall in jail (strum once) (lick) A life ^Dsentence of repentance but you can be sure that

Mu^Cseveni ^Ddefinitely ^Gwould ^Em (play 3 bars of G before walking down to C at next verse) Know it ^Cif I had the ^Dpower to cause a ^Gflood --------------------------------------------------------------

And for ^CJe-rem-^Dy Clark^Gson, ^Cit's all just a^D bit of^Em fun ^C (strum once) (strum once) For our ^Chighly paid celebrities, to ^Guse language of bigotry,

(strum once) (walk up)

And ^Dthen make no apology, because ^Emno one sees a link between The ^Cthings he thinks it's fine to tweet, and ^Gpeople yelled at in the street

(walk up)

And ^Dkids abused in every school, and the ^Emtime my windows were bricked through And ^CPutin and ^Cadd9Museveni, for ^GUKIP and for Jeremy, and ^Dbanter from the Top Gear lads,

(walk up) (strum once) (strum once)

Yeah ^Emit's PC gone fucking mad and that's ^Call just fine a-nd^G good (strum once) (final lick) (strum once, let ring) But if I ^Dhad the power to cause a flood - you can bet I would ^G
