Down from the sky, up from the raging sea
G D G
In the blink of an eye, water's all you can see
C G C G
All you could hear was the wind and rain, nobody told us 'bout a hurricane
Em A D
And if they had could we escape such a terrible sound
C Em C D G
In Galveston there ain't no higher ground
G D G
We had nothin but hope when this brand new century began
G D G
Now there's six thousand gone, some say it might have been ten
C G C G
We're the finest country and the smartest too, we certainly know more than the Cubans do
Em A D
So why do we bury our dead in the water where they all drown
C Em C D Em
In Galveston there ain't no higher ground
C Em C D G
In Galveston there ain't no higher ground
The rain gave up and the sea she laid back down
There�s no tellin' how long 'til all the bodies are found
Does Washington care, does Houston know, we're an island in the Gulf of Mexico
Guess they'll be lending a hand just as soon as the word gets 'round
They say in Galveston, there ain't no higher ground
Woah, in Galveston there ain�t no higher ground
