Intro:
D MajorD B minorBm D MajorD B minorBm  D MajorD

Verse 1:
B minorBm
Turning and turning
G+G         D MajorD
Within the widening gyre
B minorBm        A augmentedA   G+G    D MajorD
The falcon cannot hear the falconer
B minorBm
Things fall apart
  G+G       D MajorD
The center cannot hold
   B minorBm      G+G
And a blood dimmed tide
   A augmentedA        D MajorD
Is loosed upon the world

B minorBm
Nothing is sacred
G+G      D MajorD
The ceremony sinks
B minorBm      A augmentedA
Innocence is drowned
G+G     D MajorD
In anarchy
  B minorBm
The best lack conviction
A augmentedA          D MajorD
Given some time to think
    B minorBm         G+G
And the worst are full of passion
    A augmentedA  D MajorD
Without mercy

Refrain:
G+G        D MajorD      B minorBm
Surely some revelation is at hand

Surely it's the second coming
         A augmentedA       D MajorD
And the wrath has finally taken form
G+G            A augmentedA
For what is this rough beast
B minorBm        A augmentedA
Its hour come at last
B minorBm        G+G        D MajorD
Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born
B minorBm        G+G        D MajorD
Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born

Verse 2:
B minorBm
Hoping and hoping
  G+G         D MajorD
As if by my weak faith
B minorBm         A augmentedA
The spirit of this world
    G+G    D MajorD
Would heal and rise
B minorBm
Vast are the shadows
   G+G      D MajorD
That straddle and strafe
  B minorBm        A augmentedA
And struggle in the darkness
G+G       D MajorD
Troubling my eyes

B minorBm
Shaped like a lion
      G+G     D MajorD
It has the head of a man
    B minorBm    A augmentedA
With a gaze as blank
  G+G        D MajorD
And pitiless as the sun
     B minorBm
And it's moving its slow thighs
      G+G    D MajorD
Across the desert sands
     B minorBm    A augmentedA
Through dark indignant
  G+G     D MajorD
Reeling falcons

Refrain:
G+G        D MajorD      B minorBm
Surely some revelation is at hand

Surely it's the second coming
         A augmentedA       D MajorD
And the wrath has finally taken form
G+G            A augmentedA
For what is this rough beast
B minorBm        A augmentedA
Its hour come at last
B minorBm        G+G        D MajorD
Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born
B minorBm        G+G        D MajorD
Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born

Verse 3:
B minorBm
Raging and raging
  G+G       D MajorD
It rises from the deep
B minorBm
Opening its eyes
A augmentedA    G+G     D MajorD
After twenty centuries
B minorBm
Vexed to a nightmare
A augmentedA    G+G    D MajorD
Out of a stony sleep
B minorBm      A augmentedA
By a rocking cradle
G+G       D MajorD
By the Sea of Galilee

Refrain:
G+G        D MajorD      B minorBm
Surely some revelation is at hand

Surely it's the second coming
         A augmentedA       D MajorD
And the wrath has finally taken form
G+G            A augmentedA
For what is this rough beast
B minorBm        A augmentedA
Its hour come at last
B minorBm        G+G        D MajorD
Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born
B minorBm        G+G        D MajorD
