🤘 Verse:

  D5D5
Across a painted desert lies

A augmentedA train of vagabonds

All that's left of what we were

It's what we have become

Once our empires glorious

But now the empire's gone

The dead gave us the time to live

And now our time is done

Pré-🤘 Chorus:

 C2
Now we are victorious
 D5D5
We’ve become our slaves
  Bb5Bb5
A augmentedA land of hope and glory building
 C5C5
Graveyards for the brave

🤘 Chorus:

 D5D5    F5F5    C5C5      G5G5
Have you seen the writing on the wall
D5D5      F5F5     C5C5  G5G5
  Have you seen that writing
 D5D5   F5F5   C5C5       G5G5
Can you see the riders on the storm
Bb5Bb5          C5C5  Bb5Bb5
  Can you see them riding
         C5C5
Can you see them riding

🤘 Verse:

 D5D5
Holding on to jury

Is that all we ever know

Ignorance our judge and jury

All we’ve got to show
   C2
From Hollywood to Babylon
   G/BG/B
Holy war to kingdom come
    D5D5
On a trail of dust and ashes

When the burning sky is done

Pré-🤘 Chorus:

  C2
A augmentedA tide of change is coming
   D5D5
And that is what you fear
  Bb5Bb5
The earthquake is a coming
   C5C5
But you don’t want to hear

You’re just too blind to see

🤘 Chorus:

 D5D5    F5F5    C5C5      G5G5
Have you seen the writing on the wall
D5D5      F5F5     C5C5  G5G5
  Have you seen that writing
 D5D5   F5F5   C5C5       G5G5
Can you see the riders on the storm
Bb5Bb5          C5C5  Bb5Bb5
  Can you see them riding
         C5C5
Can you see them riding
