[Intro]
   C      G       C        G7
[Verse]
I kCnew a mG7an who liCved in feG7ar,
It was hCuge, C7it was anFgry, it was draAmwing nG7ear
BehCind his G7house a Csecret plG7ace
Was the Cshadow C7of the deFmon he could neAmver faG7ce.
[Bridge]
He bDm7uilt a waCll of stFeel and flCame
And mFen with gGuns to kG7suseep it tame
Then standing G7back he maCde it plG7ain
That the niC7ghtmare would neFver ever Amrise Em/GagaiCn
But the fC7ear and the fFire and the Fguns G7remCain.
[Chorus]
   FIt doesn't Cmatter now,   Git's over Canyhow
   FHe tells the Cworld that it's GsleepCingC7  
   FBut as the Cnight came round,   GI heard its Clonely sound
   FIt wasn't Croaring, it was   G7weCepiC7ng
   FIt wasn't roCaring, it was    G7weepiCng.
[Verse]
And tChen one G7day the nCeighbours G7came
They were cCurious C7to know aFbout the sAmmoke and G7flame
They Cstood arG7ound ouCtside the G7wall
But of cCourse tC7here was Fnothing to be Amheard at G7all
[Bridge]
"My Dm7friends" he sCaid, "We've rFeached our Cgoal
The tFhreat is Gunder fG7susirm control
As long as G7peace and Corder rG7eign
I'll be damC7ned if I can sFee a reason Amto eEm/GxplaiCn
Why the fC7ear and the fFire and the Fguns G7remCain."
[Chorus]
   FIt doesn't Cmatter now,   Git's over Canyhow
   FHe tells the Cworld that it's GsleepCingC7  
   FBut as the Cnight came round,   GI heard its Clonely sound
   FIt wasn't Croaring, it was   G7weCepiC7ng
   FIt wasn't roCaring, it was    G7weepiCng.

Say aFh, say aCh, say ahG7..C

Dm7

G7sus

Em/G

[Intro]

C G C G7

[Verse]

C G7 C G7

I knew a man who lived in fear,

C C7 F Am G7

It was huge, it was angry, it was drawing near

C G7 C G7

Behind his house a secret place

C C7 F Am G7

Was the shadow of the demon he could never face.

[Bridge]

Dm7 C F C

He built a wall of steel and flame

F G G7sus

And men with guns to keep it tame

G7 C G7

Then standing back he made it plain

C7 F Am Em/G C

That the nightmare would never ever rise again

C7 F F G7 C

But the fear and the fire and the guns remain.

[Chorus]

F C G C

It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow

F C G C C7

He tells the world that it's sleeping

F C G C

But as the night came round, I heard its lonely sound

F C G7 C C7

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping

F C G7 C

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.

[Verse]

C G7 C G7

And then one day the neighbours came

C C7 F Am G7

They were curious to know about the smoke and flame

C G7 C G7

They stood around outside the wall

C C7 F Am G7

But of course there was nothing to be heard at all

[Bridge]

Dm7 C F C

"My friends" he said, "We've reached our goal

F G G7sus

The threat is under firm control

G7 C G7

As long as peace and order reign

C7 F Am Em/G C

I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain

C7 F F G7 C

Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."

[Chorus]

F C G C

It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow

F C G C C7

He tells the world that it's sleeping

F C G C

But as the night came round, I heard its lonely sound

F C G7 C C7

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping

F C G7 C

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.

[Outro]

F C G7 C

Say ah, say ah, say ah..
