[Intro] Em C G D Em C G D Em C G D Am C D [Chorus 1]
         Em              C           G      D
Have you heard what they said on the news today

         Em            C            G     D
Have you heard what is coming to us all?

         Em          C               G            D
That the world as we know it will be coming to an end

         Am              C      D
Have you heard, have you heard?
[Verse 1]
Em            G                C                  G        D
He sees them in the distance when the darkened clouds roll

Em             G             C      G   D
He could feel tension in the atmosphere

Em            G               C          G    D
He would look in the mirror, see an old man now

Em       G                  C      G   D
Does it matter if they survive somehow

Em                     G           C             G   D
They said there's nothing can be done about the situation

Em                  G             C      G   D
They said there's nothing you can do at all

Em           G               C           G    D
To sit and wait around for something to occur

        Am               C   D
Did you know, did you know?

Em       G                C             G          D
As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows

Em       G                C       G   D
Wonders if they'll ever grow again

Em        G             C          G          D
The desperation of the situation getting graver

Em       G               C          D
Getting ready when the wild wind blows
[Chorus 1]
         Em             C           G      D
Have you seen what they said on the news today

         Em              C             G     D
Have you heard what they said about us all?

       Em           C                 G            D
Do you know what is happening to just every one of us

         Am              C      D
Have you heard, have you heard?
[Verse 2]
           Em      C             G                D
There will be a catastrophe the like we've never seen

           Em             C                  G    D
There will be something that will light the sky

          Em           C               G            D
That the world as we know it, it will never be the same

        Am            C     D
Did you know, did you know?

Em          G           C               G      D
He carries everything into the shelter not a fuss

Em       G                C      D
Getting ready when the moment comes

Em        G                C               G      D
He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two

Em       G                C      D
Good to have because you never know

Em            G               C              G      D
They tell us nothing that we don't already know about

Em           G                C      D
They tell us nothing that is real at all

Em          G               C               D
They only fill us with the stuff that they want

        Am            C     D
Did you know, did you know?

Em            G                C            G      D
He's nearly finished with the preparations for the day

Em           G              C      D
He's getting tired; that'll do for now

Em            G               C            G      D
They are preparing for the very worst to come to them

Em        G             C         D
Getting ready when the wild wind blows
[Bridge]
Em                                              C
He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down

         G   D
Upside down 

Em                                               C
He sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face,

         G     D
Saying Grace

Em                                                      C
Remember times they had, they flash right through his mind

        G    D
Left behind

Em                                 C
Of a lifetime spent together long ago

          G  D
Will be gone
[Verse 3]
Em
They've been preparing for some weeks now

Em
For when the crucial moment comes

Em
To take their refuge in the shelter

C           D                    Em
Let them prepare for what will come

Em
They make a tea and sit there waiting

Em
They're in the shelter feeling snug

Em
Not long to wait for absolution

C             D                   Em
Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait
[Chorus 2]
         C             G                D           Em
Can't believe all the lying, all the screens are denying

          C          G           Em
That the moments of truth have begun

          C              G              D                 Em
Can't you see it on the T.V.? Don't believe them in the least bit

         C          D            Em
Now the days of our ending have begun
[Verse 4]
Em
Say a prayer when it's all over

Em
Survivors unite, all as one

Em
Got to try and help each other

C        D           Em
Got the will to overcome
[Chorus 2]
           C             G                D           Em
I can't believe all the lying, all the screens are denying

          C          G           Em
That the moments of truth have begun

          C              G              D                 Em
Can't you see it on the T.V.? Don't believe them in the least bit

         C          D          Em
Now the days of our ending have begun
[Outro]
Em         G                    C              G           D
When they found them, had their arms wrapped around each other

Em              G             C              D
Their tins of poison laying near by their clothes

Em             G               C                 G   D
The day they both mistook an earthquake for the fallout,

Em     G              C          D
Just another when the wild wind blows
