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]
DmC BbC
        x2
[Chorus]
Dm                C                   Bb          C
   I can feel it coming in the air tonight... oh Lord
Dm                            C                    Bb        C
   I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
Dm                  C                   Bb         C
   Can you feel it coming in the air tonight.. oh Lord?
    Dm
Oh Lord
[Verse 1]
         Dm
Well, if you told me you were drowning
  C
I would not lend a hand
     Bb
I've seen your face before, my friend
            F
But I don't know if you know who I am
    Dm
But I was there and I saw what you did
C
Saw it with my own two eyes
           Bb
So you can wipe off that grin... I know where you've been
     F
It's all been a pack of lies
[Chorus]
Dm                C                   Bb          C
   I can feel it coming in the air tonight... oh Lord
Dm                            C                    Bb        C
   I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
Dm                C                   Bb          C
   I can feel it coming in the air tonight... oh Lord
Dm                            C                    Bb        C
   I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
    Dm
Oh Lord
[Verse 2]
          Dm
Well, I remember
I remember, don't worry
C
  How could I ever forget?
          Bb                                F
It's the first time... and the last time we ever met
    Dm                                             C
But I know the reason why you keep this silence up
No, you don't fool me
        Bb
For the hurt doesn't show
But the pain still grows
        F
It's no stranger to you and me
[Chorus]
Dm                C                   Bb          C
   I can feel it coming in the air tonight... oh Lord
Dm                            C                    Bb        C
   I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
Dm                      C                  Bb       C
   I can feel it in the air tonight... oh Lord, oh Lord
Dm                            C                    Bb        C
   I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
Dm                C                   Bb          C
   I can feel it coming in the air tonight... oh Lord
Dm                            C                    Bb        C
   I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
Dm                      C                  Bb       C
   I can feel it in the air tonight... oh Lord, oh Lord
Dm                            C                    Bb        C
   I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
Dm                      C                  Bb       C
