    A
In golden Hannibal Carthage days marchin' onto Rome. 

E                                D
Knockin' on the door and findin' nobody home there 

A
Rome she cut our army down and left them in the snow 

   E                        
so now I go to where I come from, 

      D              E
now I go home to the Sun.
CHORUS
A        D           E
When the earth moves again, 

A        D           E
when the earth moves again my friend. 

A       D    E
Let the lady ride on thru, 

A        D           E      D
when the earth moves again. 
V2
 A                                   
Egyptian kings they sing of Gods and pyramids of stone, 

         E                               D
and they left the deserts clean and they left the deserts golden, 

    A 
and shinin' as a beacon for those that need a road, 

  E
into the day and thru the night, 

   D                   E
we go and find our way home. 
CHORUS 2
A        D           E
When the earth moves again. 

A                          D         E
 My love to all the people I leave behind.

A              D          E
Search out the new ground around you,

A        D           E       D
when the earth moves again. 
BRIDGE
     F#
Your head can pull your body around. 

            B
and you can leave whenever you can from the ground. 

D 
Take what you can on the land. 

A                 E      D
Sea foam glass is sand 
V3
A                                   
If you've only lived on earth you've never seen the sun, 

       E                           D
or the promise of a thousand other suns that glow beyond here, 

    A                             
And if you care to see the future look into the eyes 

        E                         D                      E     D
of your young dancing children,    don't be afraid of our ways 
CHORUS

When the earth moves again,

when the earth moves again my friend, 

A       D    E
Let the lady ride on thru 

A        D           E      D
when the earth moves again. 

A               D       E
Moses Moses, the red sea closes 

A                 D     E
over you when you least expect it to. 

A        D           E
When the earth moves again.

When the earth moves again
