D7 G Gm D
[Verse 1]
Bm Turning and turning G D Within the widening gyre Bm A G D The falcon cannot hear the falconer Bm Things fall apart G D The center cannot hold Bm G And a blood dimmed tide A D Is loosed upon the world Bm Nothing is sacred G D The ceremony sinks Bm A Innocence is drowned G D In anarchy Bm The best lack conviction A D Given some time to think Bm G And the worst are full of passion A D Without mercy
[Refrain]
G D Bm Surely some revelation is at hand
Surely it's the second coming
A D And the wrath has finally taken form G A For what is this rough beast Bm Its hour come at last A D Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born A Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Bm Hoping and hoping G D As if by my weak faith Bm A The spirit of this world G D Would heal and rise Bm Vast are the shadows G D That straddle and strafe Bm A And struggle in the darkness G D Troubling my eyes Bm Shaped like a lion G D It has the head of a man Bm A With a gaze as blank G D And pitiless as the sun Bm And it's moving its slow thighs G D Across the desert sands Bm A Through dark indignant G D Reeling falcons
[Refrain]
G D Bm Surely some revelation is at hand
Surely it's the second coming
A D And the wrath has finally taken form G A For what is this rough beast Bm A Its hour come at last A D Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born A Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born

[Verse 3]
Bm Raging and raging G D It rises from the deep Bm Opening its eyes A G D After twenty centuries Bm Vexed to a nightmare A G D Out of a stony sleep Bm A By a rocking cradle G D By the Sea of Galilee
[Refrain]
G D Bm Surely some revelation is at hand
Surely it's the second coming
A D And the wrath has finally taken form G A For what is this rough beast Bm A Its hour come at last A D Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born A Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born
