[Intro]

[Verse]
Am Am7 A                        
■  ■   Hold now the water rising
       A                   
Coming as the storm arrives
        A                    
Katrina come to sink the city
         A                   
Bust the levee a hundred wide
     D         A    
Hold now don't break
     A7 
Hold now
A                         
Don't break the levee down
Am                           
■  Some come to save the city
Am                             
Ruin and rage keep pouring down
Am                          
Flood born of blood and pity
    A                              
The Angel of Death soon hear me now


[Chorus]
A7       D     A7   
Hold now don't break
     A7 
Hold now
      D                   
Don't break the levee down

[Verse]
      Am                          
Climb toward the roofs and shelter
           Am             
Raise your arms to the sky
      Am                        
Women children mothers daughters
             Am              
Fathers sons done left behind
A7             D    
Hold now don't break
A7      
Hold now
D     A                   
Don't break the levee down
          A7  
The levee down
    A7                 
War between God and man
            A7               
Man and man with world no end
          A7                   
Oh man he chose to build a city
A7            
Of sinful mind
A               
God pulled it in


[Chorus]
         D     A    
Hold now don't break
     A  
Hold now
                      A7  
Don't break the levee down
    A     D    A    A7
Who ■ now will take ■

Who now will take
