[Bbm] [Eb]
[Gb] [Db]
[Gb] [Ab] I [Gb]
knew a man who lived in fear It was huge, [B] it was angry, [Ebm] it was drawing
[Db] near
[Gb] Behind his house, a secret [Db] place
Was [Gb] the shadow [B] of a demon [Ebm] he could never [Db] face
[Abm] He built [Gb] a wall [B] of steel [Db] and flame [Ebm] And manned [Db] the guards to keep [Gb] it tame
Standing back, he made [Db] it plain That the nightmare [B] would never [Ebm] ever rise [Gb] again
But the fear [B] and the fire [Eb] and the guns [Gb] remained
[B] It [Gb] doesn't matter [Db] now, it's [Gb] over [B] anyhow He tells the world [Db] that it's [Gb] sleeping
[B] But [Gb] as the night [Db] came round, I [Gb] heard it slowly [B] sound
It [Gb] wasn't roaring, it was weeping
[B] It [Gb] wasn't roaring, it was weeping
[Ab] Then one day, the neighbors came They were curious [Db] to know [Fm] about the smoke and flame
[Ab] He stood around outside the [Eb] wall But of course, [Db] there was nothing [Fm] to be heard [Eb] at all
[Bbm] My friends, [Ab] he said, [Db] we've reached [Eb] our goal [Fm] The threat [Cm] is under [Eb] firm [Ab] control
As long [Eb] as peace [Ab] and order [Eb] reign I'll be damned if [Db] I can see a [Fm] reason to [Ab] explain
Why the fear [Db] and the fire [Fm] and the guns [Ab] remain
[Db] It [Ab] doesn't matter [Eb] now, it's [Ab] over [Db] anyhow He [Ab] tells the world [Eb] that it's [Ab] sleeping
[Db] But [Ab] as the night [Eb] came round, I [Ab] heard it slowly [Db] sound
It [Ab] wasn't roaring, [Eb] it was weeping [Db] It [Ab] wasn't roaring, [Eb] it was [Ab] weeping
[Db] Say ah, [Ab] say ah, [Eb] say ah [Ab] Say [Db] ah, [Ab] say ah, [Eb] say ah
[Ab] [F]
[Ab]
[Db] It doesn't matter [Eb] now,
[Ab] [Db] [Ab] [Eb] it's over [Ab] anyhow It [Db] [Ab] doesn't matter [Eb] now, [Ab] it's over [Db] anyhow
It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow He [Ab] tells the world [Eb] that it's [Ab] sleeping
[Db] But [Ab] as the night [Eb] came round, I [Ab] heard it slowly [Bbm] sound
It [Ab] wasn't roaring, [Eb] it was [Ab] weeping [Db] It [Ab] wasn't roaring, [Eb] it was [Ab] weeping
Say ah, say ah, [Eb] say ah [Ab] Say ah, say ah, [Eb] say [Ab] ah
