Chris de Burgh – The Leader Trilogy (Guitar)

  Am                         F
I looked to the North, and I turned to the West,

      Em                   F
For a sign, a light in the sky,

        G                          Am   Em7 F
Oh, the message is clear, that the time is  near,

      Am        Em    F
For a leader to come again

  Am                      F
A circle of stones on the head of a hill,

  Em       C     Em      F
Tonight is where it will be,

        G                      Am    Em  F
In this desolate place, we all stand and wait,

      Am        Em    F
For a leader to come again

      Am          Em    F
Yes a leader will come again,

G          Am       Am Am G Am
For it is written,

       Am     G       Am
That a leader will be here,

G          Am      Am Am G Am
And then a vision,

        F
Left me blinded by the light,

       G                            Am
And it started right in front of my eyes...

      G                  Am
And I saw a burning chariot,

        F                     Em                    F
And the four horsemen of the apocalypse, waiting on high,

C     G                 C
And I heard the thunder rolling in,

      Em                                             F - Bb - Am
And behold our leader on a pale horse, riding in the sky

C     G               Am
And I saw this land a battlefield,

       F                Em                  F
With a hundred thousand men, fighting hand to hand,

C     G                   C
And I heard the sounds of victory,

        Em                                                F   G
And the rivers ran red with the blood of our enemies, and I____

      C                     F
I saw fire (fire), from the sky,

      C                      F          C   G
I saw fire (fire), and I saw paradise, (paradise,)

C
Fire (fire), from the sun, I saw fire,

          F         E  D C  Bm C     Am
And I saw Alpha and O--mega ha-ha-ha-ha

C
Fire,

                      F          C   G
I saw fire, and I saw paradise, (paradise,)

                 Em     D              Em
I am left in the night, trembling with fear,

       C           Em              ?         C
I have seen to the future, and the future is here,

    Em                G                D          Em
Our leader will bring victory, but our land is in flames,

           Am              G           F              B
And as the final sounds of battle disappear, I had to say...

N.C.       C       D            Em                 D Em E 
What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,

D          C Em G   D                         Em
What about me,  and you, and the ones that we love,
