🤘 Verse:

   D5
Across a painted desert lies

A 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
 D5
We’ve become our slaves
   Bb5
A land of hope and glory building
  C5
Graveyards for the brave

🤘 Chorus:

 D5       F5        C5            G5
Have you seen the writing on the wall
D5           F5         C5    G5
   Have you seen that writing
 D5      F5      C5             G5
Can you see the riders on the storm
Bb5                   C5    Bb5
    Can you see them riding
                  C5
Can you see them riding

🤘 Verse:

 D5
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/B
Holy war to kingdom come
       D5
On a trail of dust and ashes

When the burning sky is done

Pré-🤘 Chorus:

   C2
A tide of change is coming
      D5
And that is what you fear
    Bb5
The earthquake is a coming
     C5
But you don’t want to hear

You’re just too blind to see

🤘 Chorus:

 D5       F5        C5            G5
Have you seen the writing on the wall
D5           F5         C5    G5
   Have you seen that writing
 D5      F5      C5             G5
Can you see the riders on the storm
Bb5                   C5    Bb5
    Can you see them riding
                  C5
Can you see them riding
