For all the mystery and tension in this tune, it's very simple. When I play it 
on keyboards I keep a low "D" depressed throughout the song. (Actually I put a 
roll of pennies on the key). I actually play the keyboard and guitar lines at 
the same time using a volume pedal on my guitar.
[Intro]
  Dm    C    Bb    Cx2
[Chorus]
   DmI can feel it cComing in the air tonBbight... oh LCord
   DmI've been waiting for this Cmoment.. for all my lBbife.. oh LCord
   DmCan you feel it cComing in the air tonBbight.. oh LCord?
Oh LDmord
[Verse 1]
Well, if Dmyou told me you were drowning
I Cwould not lend a hand
I've Bbseen your face before, my friend
But I don't Fknow if you know who I am
But DmI was there and I saw what you did
CSaw it with my own two eyes
So you can Bbwipe off that grin... I know where you've been
It's Fall been a pack of lies
[Chorus]
   DmI can feel it cComing in the air tonBbight... oh LCord
   DmI've been waiting for this Cmoment.. for all my lBbife.. oh LCord
   DmI can feel it cComing in the air tonBbight... oh LCord
   DmI've been waiting for this Cmoment.. for all my lBbife.. oh LCord
Oh LDmord
[Verse 2]
Well, I reDmmember
I remember, don't worry
  CHow could I ever forget?
It's the fBbirst time... and the last time we Fever met
But DmI know the reason why you keep this silence upC  
No, you don't fool me
For the Bbhurt doesn't show
But the pain still grows
It's no Fstranger to you and me
[Chorus]
   DmI can feel it cComing in the air tonBbight... oh LCord
   DmI've been waiting for this Cmoment.. for all my lBbife.. oh LCord
   DmI can feel it in the Cair tonight... oh LBbord, oh LCord
