[Intro]
D Bm D Bm D

[Verse 1]
Bm
Turning and turning
G D
Within the widening gyre
Bm A G D
The falcon cannot hear the falconer
Bm
Things fall apart
G D
The center cannot hold
Bm G
And a blood dimmed tide
A D
Is loosed upon the world

Bm
Nothing is sacred
G D
The ceremony sinks
Bm A
Innocence is drowned
G D
In anarchy
Bm
The best lack conviction
A D
Given some time to think
Bm G
And the worst are full of passion
A D
Without mercy

[Refrain]
G D Bm
Surely some revelation is at hand

Surely it's the second coming
A D
And the wrath has finally taken form
G A
For what is this rough beast
Bm A
Its hour come at last
Bm G D
Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born
Bm G D
Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born

[Verse 2]
Bm
Hoping and hoping
G D
As if by my weak faith
Bm A
The spirit of this world
G D
Would heal and rise
Bm
Vast are the shadows
G D
That straddle and strafe
Bm A
And struggle in the darkness
G D
Troubling my eyes

Bm
Shaped like a lion
G D
It has the head of a man
Bm A
With a gaze as blank
G D
And pitiless as the sun
Bm
And it's moving its slow thighs
G D
Across the desert sands
Bm A
Through dark indignant
G D
Reeling falcons

[Refrain]
G D Bm
Surely some revelation is at hand

Surely it's the second coming
A D
And the wrath has finally taken form
G A
For what is this rough beast
Bm A
Its hour come at last
Bm G D
Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born
Bm G D
Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born

[Verse 3]
Bm
Raging and raging
G D
It rises from the deep
Bm
Opening its eyes
A G D
After twenty centuries
Bm
Vexed to a nightmare
A G D
Out of a stony sleep
Bm A
By a rocking cradle
G D
By the Sea of Galilee

[Refrain]
G D Bm
Surely some revelation is at hand

Surely it's the second coming
A D
And the wrath has finally taken form
G A
For what is this rough beast
Bm A
Its hour come at last
Bm G D
Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born
Bm G D
Slouching toward Bethlehem to be born
