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
