A tribute first to the survivors of Katrina-and in 2023 to my family and friends in California
Water’s Rushing In© lyrics and melody by Tobie Hoffman
Chorus:
[C B] ATake me to higher ground
[F G] Waters rushing in waters rushing in
[F G] FTake me to higher ground
Water’s rushing over me
Take me to higher ground
Water’s rushing over me
[Gm C B]Tell my friends there’s no way out
But up and over and round about
[F] I’ll come home when the water goes down
But now it’s rushing over me
Tell my boss I’m not comin’ in
The roads a river and I can’t swim
I’ll punch the clock when the water goes down
But now it’s rushing over me
Tell my love to get out now
We’ll find each other, don’t know how
We’ll make a home when the water goes down
But now it’s rushing over me
