Em   C   G   D
Em   C   G   D
Em   C   G   D
Am   C   D
 
 
[Chorus 1]
         Em              C           
Have you heard what they said on the 
G      D
news today
         Em            C            G   
Have you heard what is coming to us all?
  D
         Em          C               
That the world as we know it will be 
G            D
coming to an end
         Am              C      D
Have you heard, have you heard?
 

[Verse 1]
Em            G                C      
He sees them in the distance when the 
            G        D
darkened clouds roll
Em             G             C      G   
He could feel tension in the atmosphere
D
Em            G               C         
He would look in the mirror, see an old 
 G    D
man now
Em       G                  C      G   D
Does it matter if they survive somehow
 
Em                     G           C  
They said there's nothing can be done 
           G   D
about the situation
Em                  G             C     
They said there's nothing you can do at 
 G   D
all
Em           G               C          
To sit and wait around for something to 
 G    D
occur
        Am               C   D
Did you know, did you know?
 
Em       G                C            
As he stares across the garden looking 
 G          D
at the meadows
Em       G                C       G   D
Wonders if they'll ever grow again
Em        G             C          G    
The desperation of the situation getting
      D
 graver
Em       G               C          D
Getting ready when the wild wind blows
 
 
[Chorus 1]
         Em             C           G   
Have you seen what they said on the news
   D
 today
         Em              C             
Have you heard what they said about us 
G     D
all?
       Em           C                 
Do you know what is happening to just 
G            D
every one of us
         Am              C      D
Have you heard, have you heard?
 
 
[Verse 2]
           Em      C             G   
There will be a catastrophe the like 
             D
we've never seen
           Em             C             
There will be something that will light 
     G    D
the sky
          Em           C              
That the world as we know it, it will 
 G            D
never be the same
        Am            C     D
Did you know, did you know?
Em          G           C              
He carries everything into the shelter 
 G      D
not a fuss
 
Em       G                C      D
Getting ready when the moment comes
Em        G                C            
He has enough supplies to last them for 
   G      D
a year or two
Em       G                C      D
Good to have because you never know
 
Em            G               C    
They tell us nothing that we don't 
          G      D
already know about
Em           G                C      D
They tell us nothing that is real at all
Em          G               C         
They only fill us with the stuff that 
      D
they want
        Am            C     D
Did you know, did you know?
 
Em            G               
He's nearly finished with the 
 C            G      D
preparations for the day
Em           G              C      D
He's getting tired; that'll do for now
Em            G               C         
They are preparing for the very worst to
   G      D
 come to them
Em        G             C         D
Getting ready when the wild wind blows
 
 
[Bridge]
Em                                    
He sees the picture on the wall, it's 
          C
falling down
         G   D
Upside down 
Em                                    
He sees a teardrop from his wife roll 
           C
down her face,
         G     D
Saying Grace
 
Em                                  
Remember times they had, they flash 
                    C
right through his mind
        G    D
Left behind
Em                                 C
Of a lifetime spent together long ago
          G  D
Will be gone
 
 
[Verse 3]
Em
They've been preparing for some weeks 
now
Em
For when the crucial moment comes
Em
To take their refuge in the shelter
C           D                    Em
Let them prepare for what will come
 
Em
They make a tea and sit there waiting
Em
They're in the shelter feeling snug
Em
Not long to wait for absolution
C             D                   Em
Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait
 
 
[Chorus 2]
         C             G             
Can't believe all the lying, all the 
   D           Em
screens are denying
          C          G           Em
That the moments of truth have begun
          C              G          
Can't you see it on the T.V.? Don't 
    D                 Em
believe them in the least bit
         C          D            Em
Now the days of our ending have begun
 
 
[Verse 4]
Em
Say a prayer when it's all over
Em
Survivors unite, all as one
Em
Got to try and help each other
C        D           Em
Got the will to overcome
 
 
[Chorus 2]
           C             G             
I can't believe all the lying, all the 
   D           Em
screens are denying
          C          G           Em
That the moments of truth have begun
          C              G          
Can't you see it on the T.V.? Don't 
    D                 Em
believe them in the least bit
         C          D          Em
Now the days of our ending have begun
 
 
[Outro]
Em         G                    C    
When they found them, had their arms 
          G           D
wrapped around each other
Em              G             C     
Their tins of poison laying near by 
         D
their clothes
Em             G               C        
The day they both mistook an earthquake 
         G   D
for the fallout,
Em     G              C          D
Just another when the wild wind blows
