Revelations chords by Iron Maiden

O God of earth and altar
    G                 Am
Bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter
    G                Am
Our people drift and die
The walls of gold entombe us
The swords of scorn divide
Take not thy thunder from us
    G             Am
But take away our pride

Am                     Cadd9
Just a babe in a black abyss
C                          G
No reason for a place like this
Am                     Cadd9            G
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
Am
An easy way for the blind to go
C

A clever path for the fools who know
Am                F            C                G
The secret of the hanged man - the smile on his lips

Am
The light of the blind youll see
                     G  Am
The venom that tears my spine
                     G                   Am
The eyes of the nile are opening - youll see

Am
She came to me with a serpents kiss
                      Cadd9       G
As the eye of the sun rose on her lips
Am                               Cadd9
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
                     Am
So we lay in a black embrace

And the seed is sown in a holy place
C                                  G
And I watched and I waited for the dawn

The light of the blind youll see
The venom that tears my spine
The eyes of the nile are opening - youll see

Am
Bind all of us together
 G                 Am
Ablaze of hope and free

No storm or heavy weather
     G                   Am
Will rock the boat youll see
                                Cadd9
The time has come to close your eyes
    G                  Am
And still the wind and rain

For the one who will be king
    G              Am
The watcher in the ring
G     Am
