[Verse 1]
    C                        Dm7
The storm cloud hangs on the hill

    G                         C
The thunder rolls through the plain

The buzzard stirs in his gloom

    G                         C
The jackal stalks through the shade

    F                        C
But clearing the dim edge of doom

The rocket lights up the way

    G                        C
And sears her wings with its flame

And night burns bright as the day

    G7                        C
The dove soars along just the same

The guns sound off with a blast

And snarl at the dove on its course

    F                         C
