      A
Piano keys hammering down

It's alright, the worst will soon be over

Let the rhythm rise like a banner

          G           D
With more sorrow than anger

Who now speaks of the fires that ravage towns

Boats cross the Arctic since glaciers melted down

          A
Turbulent rains never before seen

Caused the floods that washed away dreams

Now's the time to reconcile our souls

With a hopeful ear turned to Muscle Shoals

                A
With a watchful eye, the story will rise above

             G                  D
The mad iron hand in the velvet glove
[Chorus 3]
     A                       G       D
It's alright, the worst will soon be over

Let the rhythm rise like a banner

With more sorrow than anger

It's alright, the worst will soon be over

               A
Let the rhythm rise like a banner

          G           D
With more sorrow than anger

          G           D
With more sorrow than anger
