verse 1
one Fmaj7 crimson dawn emerge .. raw Cmaj7 facts are on the table
the Fmaj7 infidels are about to surge, no Cmaj7 peaceful pact enabled
C9 licking the wounds of foxes and hounds, Dsus flashes of brilliance, seldom found
Am7 broomsticks fly by desert dunes, to G spread the terror via toxic fumes
Em there is a way that seem Am right to man .. but the C end thereof … is Em death …
verse 2
Famj7 rising sun and waning moon, three Cmaj7 monkeys in a waiting room
there Fmaj7 is nowhere to hide .. in the Cmaj7 surge of an outward-flowing tide
C9 four and twenty blackbirds seek to Dsus catch an early worm
Am7 little goody two-shoes, G prepare to crash and burn
Em there is a way that seem Am right to man .. but the C end thereof … is Em death …
reprise
Am I see father time on the BmE horizon
Am I see warning light on a neon BmE sign
C I see the ways of men go G horribly wrong
in the D times of sand .. and the C word of song
to Am understand the plight .. please C listen what was said
Em there is a way that seem Am right to man .. but the C end thereof … is Em death …
verse 3
the Fmaj7 firmament’s alight above the Cmaj7 iron dome tonight
Fmaj7 curds and whey complicit, to Cmaj7 elicit turk’s delight
C9 beyond a fertile plain the masters Dsus don their mask of pain
we Am7 await the acid rain .. that’s G sure to come again
Em there is a way that seem Am right to man .. but the C end thereof … is Em death …
verse 4
from the Fmaj7 north and eastern block, the Cmaj7 world looks on in shock
they Fmaj7 boo and bah and mock (what is seen as) the Cmaj7 black sheep of the flock
I am C9 here to reclaim what little remain, not Dsus here to apportion blame
Am7 neither for fame in this losing game, there is G nothing left but shame
Em there is a way that seem Am right to man .. but the C end thereof … is Em death …
reprise
Am I see father time on the BmE horizon
Am I see warning light on a neon BmE sign
C I see the ways of men go G horribly wrong
in the D times of sand .. and the C word of song
to Am understand the plight .. please C listen what was said
Em there is a way that seem Am right to man .. but the C end thereof … is Em death …
