Intro 🎸 Chorus:
Dm C  Dm                           C
Ah-ah, people of the Earth, "Listen to the warning." the seer he said
 F      C    Bb    Dm (C Dm Dm C  Dm)☠☠ Bbmaj7b5
Beware the storm that gathers here, listen to the wise man
N.C. |A*| |A*|

🎸 Verse 1:
 Am                       C      D     Am
I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair spreading his hands on the multitude there
 Am         Dm         Em             Asus4add2
A man who cried for a love gone stale and ice-cold hearts of charity bare
 Am                          C    D      Am
I watched as fear took the old man's gaze, hopes of the young in troubled graves

🎸 Pre-Chorus 1:
N.C. A*    A#*  B*     C*  C#*     D*   D#*  E* A*
 "I see no day," I heard him say, so grey is the face of every mortal

🎸 Chorus 1:
Dm          C Dm                  C
Ah-ah, people of the Earth, "Listen to the warning." the seer he said
  F    C    Bb     Dm             Fadd9
For soon the cold of night will fall, summoned by your own hand
Dm           C Dm                C
Ah-ah, children of the land, quicken to the new life, take my hand
F    C    Bb    Dm              Gsus2
Fly and find the new green bough, return like the white dove
N.C. |A*|

🎸 Verse 2:
  Am                        C     D    Am
He told of death as a bone-white haze, taking the lost and the unloved babe
Am           Dm         Em         Am       Asus4add2
Late, too late, all the wretches run, these kings of beasts now counting their days
   Am  (C/A F/A Am   F/A  C/A Am)☠☠       C   Dsus4   Am
From mother's love is the son estranged, married his own, his precious gain

🎸 Pre-Chorus 2:
N.C. A*     A#*    B*    C*     C#*    D*     D#*   E* A*
The Earth will shake, in two will break, and death all around will be your dowry

🎸 Chorus 2:
Dm          C Dm                  C
Ah-ah, people of the Earth, "Listen to the warning." the seer he said
  F     C    Bb   Dm            F#m
For those who fear and mark my words, listen to the good plan

🎸 Bridge:
Dm C Bbsus2 F  Bbmaj7     F
Ah-ah-ah-  -ah, and two by two, my human zoo, they'll be
Dm              Gm           Dm
running for to come, running for to come, out of the rain
       C
Ah, ah-ah-ah
G          Em Bm        Am       G       D  C
 Flee for your life!   Who heed me not, let all your treasure make you. Oh!
G          Em Bm        Am        G      D
 Fear for your life!   Deceive you not, the fires of hell will take you
    F       Dm Cadd9
Should death await you
