Chords with lyrics

You'll need a capo on three or four, whichever sounds best to you
and works with your voice.

[INTRO]


[VERSE ONE]

C majorC
Every few thousand years
E minorEm            D MajorD
Come true man's greatest fears
E minorEm
All the living things
C majorC            G+G
Mother Nature brings to tears

C majorC
When the bombs are bursting in the air
E minorEm                 D MajorD
And the rockets are making that red glare
E minorEm
I'm heading down,
C majorC              E minorEm         G+G
Down to that good hope town, where the weather's fair

[CHORUS]

E minorEm   D MajorD     E minorEm  C majorC
So why don't you come away
G+G       D MajorD
With me, my love
   E minorEm
We'll do what it takes
C majorC
I'll keep you safe

E minorEm  D MajorD    E minorEm   C majorC
Why don't you stay by me
G+G         C majorC
And when the time comes
E minorEm
We'll escape


[VERSE TWO]

C majorC
When the big one finally hits LA
E minorEm            D MajorD
When Yellowstone has its day
E minorEm
We're heading to the southern tip
C majorC
On a plane or on a ship,
         E minorEm         G+G
We'll do what it takes, we'll find a way

C majorC
And if that cloud forms up above
E minorEm          D MajorD
No sign anywhere of a dove
E minorEm
There'll be no reason left to stay
C majorC
We'll try and live another day
   E minorEm            G+G
In a place where there's still love


[CHORUS]

E minorEm   D MajorD       E minorEm   C majorC
So why don't you come away
G+G       D MajorD
With me, my love
   E minorEm
We'll do what it takes
C majorC
I'll keep you safe

E minorEm   C majorC   E minorEm       C majorC
Why don't you stay by me
G+G         C majorC
And when the time comes
E minorEm
We'll escape
We'll escape

E minorEm C majorC   D MajorD          G+G
