This is how I play the song. Suggestions and corrections welcome!
G Bm F Am x2
G Bm
They stayed put in their houses
F Am
Or moved to higher ground
G Bm
There are ghosts by the reservoir
F Am
But no one wants them round no more
G Bm
There's a spell for the dam to break
F Am G
They’ll tell you all about the time when it came
Bm
What they took away
F Am
In 1922
G
It caused a drought
C
It caused a flood
G C
It came to change us all for good
G C G C

Do I look like someone
F Am
Who's heard the voices through the floor
G Bm
In a strange cold language
F Am
They’re planning out a war
D C G Em
C Am G C G C
G C
So tap into the mainline
Bm D
And tell me all the secrets
G C
Of a world you once lived in
Bm D
That your heart could not swallow
G C
The sky is so shallow } \
Bm D } > x3
The sky is so shallow } /

It’s late, you’ve been working hard

Drive down to the reservoir

D C G Em
C Am G C G C
G
It caused a drought

Despite the years they’re still around

Have we fallen out for good?
