verse 1
    E minorEm        C majorC
It was on the stroke of midnight
    E minorEm       C majorC
On the final Christmas Eve
E minorEm     C majorC
People all around were saying
 E minorEm      C majorC
"What do you believe?"
E minorEm           C majorC
Streets were laid with burnished gold
E minorEm       C majorC
Statues made of chrome
  E minorEm        C majorC
Up spoke the wicked messenger
    E minorEm      C majorC
"You're welcome to my home"

   E minorEm       C majorC
Then tempers started flaring
    E minorEm      C majorC
As the heat began to rise
E minorEm         C majorC
Fields of corn and rapeseed
     E minorEm        C majorC
Turned to dust before their eyes
E minorEm       C majorC
People started blaming
  E minorEm        C majorC
The changing weather map
  E minorEm       C majorC
The chrome began to tarnish
  E minorEm        C majorC
The gold was sold for scrap

Then just before the end of time
  E minorEm      C majorC
The sun began to dim
E minorEm      C majorC
People of the world began
