[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..
