[Intro]
Dm  C  Bb  Dm

Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm  C  Dm
Oh oh people of the earth
Dm
Listen to the warning
     C
The Seer he said
F           C           Bb     Dm
Beware the storm that gathers here
Dm                 Bb
Listen to the wise man
Am
I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair
Am             C           Bb    F    Am
Spreading his hands on the multitude there
Am                     Dm
A man who cried for a love gone stale
     Em                 C       Bb
And ice cold hearts of charity bare
Am
I watched as fear took the old men's gaze
Am            C          Bb
Hopes of the young in troubled graves
   Am      Bb    B        C
I see no day, I heard him say
    C#         D        D#    Em
So grey is the face of every mortal
Dm  C  Dm
Oh oh people of the earth
Dm
Listen to the warning
     C
The prophet he said
     F       C        Bb        Dm
For soon the cold of night will fall
Dm                   Bb
Summoned by your own hand
Dm  C   Dm
Oh oh children of the land
Dm
Quicken to the new life
C
Take my hand
      F      C        Bb         Dm
Ooh, fly and find the new green bough
Dm                     Bb
Return like the white dove
Am
He told of death as a bone white haze
Am         C            Bb F    Am
Taking the lost and the unloved babe
Am                    Dm
Late too late all the wretches run
      Em                   C             Bb
These kings of beasts now counting their days
     Am
From mother's love is the son estranged
Am          C       Bb
Married his own his precious gain
     Am        Bb        B        C
The earth will shake in two will break
    C#         D        D#         Em
And death all around will be your dowry
Dm  C  Dm
Oh oh people of the earth
Dm
Listen to the warning
     C
The Seer he said
      F       C        Bb      Dm
For those who hear and mark my words
Dm                 F#m
Listen to the good plan
Bb F  Bb F     F
Oh oh oh oh - and two by two my human zoo
They'll be
Dm
Running for to come
Bb
Running for to come
           Dm
Out of the rain
C    G                 Em
Oh, flee for your life
B            A                 G             D  Dsus2 D
Who heed me not, let all your treasure make you
C    G                 Em
Oh, fear for your life
B            A                G              D
Deceive you not the fires of hell will take you
        C           Gm
Should death await you
