When The Wild Wind Blows

Em   C   G   D
Em   C   G   D
Em   C   G   D
Am   C   D


[Chorus 1]
         Em              C           G      D
Have you heard what they said on the news today
         Em            C            G     D
Have you heard what is coming to us all?
         Em          C               G            D
That the world as we know it will be coming to an end
         Am              C      D
Have you heard, have you heard?


[Verse 1]
Em            G                C                  G        D
He sees them in the distance when the darkened clouds roll
Em             G             C      G   D
He could feel tension in the atmosphere
Em            G               C          G    D
He would look in the mirror, see an old man now
Em       G                  C      G   D
Does it matter if they survive somehow

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

Em       G                C             G          D
As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows
Em       G                C       G   D
Wonders if they'll ever grow again
Em        G             C          G          D
The desperation of the situation getting graver
Em       G               C          D
Getting ready when the wild wind blows


[Chorus 1]
         Em             C           G      D
Have you seen what they said on the news today
         Em              C             G     D
Have you heard what they said about us all?
       Em           C                 G            D
Do you know what is happening to just every one of us
         Am              C      D
Have you heard, have you heard?


[Verse 2]
           Em      C             G                D
There will be a catastrophe the like we've never seen
           Em             C                  G    D
There will be something that will light the sky
          Em           C               G            D
That the world as we know it, it will never be the same
        Am            C     D
Did you know, did you know?
Em          G           C               G      D
He carries everything into the shelter not a fuss

Em       G                C      D
Getting ready when the moment comes
Em        G                C               G      D
He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two
Em       G                C      D
Good to have because you never know

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

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


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

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


[Verse 3]
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


[Chorus 2]
         C             G                D           Em
Can't believe all the lying, all the screens are denying
          C          G           Em
That the moments of truth have begun
          C              G              D                 Em
Can't you see it on the T.V.? Don't believe them in the least bit
         C          D            Em
Now the days of our ending have begun


[Verse 4]
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


[Chorus 2]
           C             G                D           Em
I can't believe all the lying, all the screens are denying
          C          G           Em
That the moments of truth have begun
          C              G              D                 Em
Can't you see it on the T.V.? Don't believe them in the least bit
         C          D          Em
Now the days of our ending have begun


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