[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am C D Am You can see it in the movies, in the paper and the TV news. Am C D Am Sombody's army is always on the move. Am C D There's gonna be a battle, the lines have been drawn, they got guns and Am tanks and planes. A C D Am The wells have gone dry and the water is bad and in the air is acid rain.
[Verse 2]
Am C D Am There's war after war and rumors of war from the East. Am C D Am There's a rumblin' in the ground and they're talkin' about the beast Am C D Am Good mothers cry 'cause the rivers run high with the blood of too many sons. Am C D Am Some people say peace is on the way but the worst is still to come.
[Chorus]
Am C 'cause the prophets wrote about it and Jesus spoke about it and D Am John got to take a look. Am C D Am And he told us what he saw and it's easy to see, it's goin' by the book Am It's goin' by the book.
[Guitar and Brass Solo]
Am C D Am (x2), Am
[Verse 3]
Am C D Am There's armies in the cities and the missiles stand ready for flight. Am C D Am A pale horse rides like the wind across the night. Am C And that rumblin' in the desert like thunder gettin' closer, D Am are the trumpets gettin' ready to blow? Am C There's gonna be a shout that will wake the dead, D Am we'd better be ready to go.
[Chorus]
Am C 'cause the prophets wrote about it and Jesus spoke about it and D Am John got to take a look. Am C D Am And he told us what he saw and it's easy to see, it's goin' by the book Am It's goin' by the book.
[Outro]
Am
It's goin' by the book.(Repeat and fade)
