When The Wild Wind Blows

[Intro] Em  C  G  D
        Em  C  G  D
        Em  C  G  D
        Am  C  D

         Em              C        
Have you heard what they said on 
   G          D
the news today
         Em             C         
Have you heard what is coming to 
   G   D
us all?
         Em           C           
That the world as we know it will 
    G           D
be coming to an end
         Am                 C     
Have you heard, have you heard?
  D


Em            G                C
He sees them in the distance 
                  G        D
when the darkened clouds roll
Em             G          
He could feel tension in the 
   C      G   D
atmosphere
Em            G               C 
He would look in the mirror, see
         G    D
 an old man now
Em       G               C      
Does it matter they survive 
G   D
somehow

Em                    G           
They said theres nothing can be 
C             G   D
done about the situation
Em                 G             
They said theres nothing you can 
C      G   D
do at all
Em           G               C  
To sit and wait around for 
         G    D
something to occur
        Am               C   D
Did you know, did you know?

Em       G                C
As he stares across the garden 
             G          D
looking at the meadows
Em       G               C       
Wonders if theyll ever grow again
G   D

Em        G             C        
The desperation of the situation 
  G          D
getting graver
Em       G               C      
Getting ready when the wild wind
    D
 blows

         Em            C          
Have you heard what they said on 
   G          D
the news today
         Em             C         
Have you heard what is coming to 
   G          D
us all?
         Em           C           
That the world as we know it will 
    G           D
be coming to an end
         Am                 C     
Have you heard, have you heard?
  D


           Em      C             
There will be a catastrophe the 
G                D
like we've never seen
           Em             C       
There will be something that will 
           G    D
light the sky

          Em           C       
That the world as we know it, it 
        G            D
will never be the same
        Am              C       D
Did you know, did you know?

Em          G           C  
He carries everything into the 
             G      D
shelter not a fuss
Em       G                C      D
Getting ready when the moment comes
Em        G                C    
He has enough supplies to last 
           G      D
them for a year or two
Em       G                C      D
Good to have because you never know

Em            G               C 
They tell us nothing that we 
             G      D
don't already know about
Em           G                C 
They tell us nothing that is 
     D
real at all
Em          G               C   
They only fill us with the stuff
            D
 that they want
        Am              C       D
Did you know, did you know?

Em            G            
He's nearly finished with the 
    C            G      D
preparations for the day
Em           G              C    
He's getting tired; that'll do for 
  D
now
Em            G               C 
They are preparing for the very 
           G      D
worst to come to them
Em        G             C        
Getting ready when the wild wind 
 D
blows

Em                             
He sees the picture on the wall, 
                 C
it's falling down
         G   D
Upside down
Em                             
He sees a teardrop from his wife 
                  C
roll down her face
         G     D
Saying Grace

Em                                
Remember times they had, they 
                      C
flash right through his mind
        G    D
Left behind
Em                              
Of a lifetime spent together long 
   C
ago
          G  D
Will be gone

Em
They've been preparing for some 
weeks now
Em
For when the crucial moment comes
Em
To take their refuge in the shelter

C           D                    Em
Let them prepare for what will come

Em
They make a tea and sit there 
waiting
Em
They're in the shelter feeling snug
Em
Not long to wait for absolution
C             D                   Em
Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait

         C             G          
Can't believe all the lying, All 
      D           Em
the screens are denying
          C          G           Em
That the moments of truth have begun
          C              G        
Can't you see it on the T.V.? 
      D                 Em
Don't believe them in the least bit
         C          D         
Now the days of our ending have 
   Em
begun

Em
Say a prayer when it's all over
Em
Survivors unite, all as one
Em
Got to try and help each other
C        D           Em
Got the will to overcome

         C             G          
Can't believe all the lying, All 
      D           Em
the screens are denying
          C          G           Em
That the moments of truth have begun
          C              G        
Can't you see it on the T.V.? 
      D                 Em
Don't believe them in the least bit
         C          D         
Now the days of our ending have 
   Em
begun

Em         G                    
When they found them, had their 
C              G           D
arms wrapped around each other
Em              G             C 
Their tins of poison laying near
             D
 by their clothes
Em             G          
The day they both mistook an 
     C                 G   D
earthquake for the fallout
Em     G              C     
Just another when the wild wind 
     D
blows
