[Verse 1]
[G]Now[C] is[D] th[G]e t[C]ime[G][C][G]
[C]To show that you [G]care[C][G]
You were [Em]offered [Am]hope[C][D]
But you chose des[G]pair[C][G]

[Verse 2]
Well you won't know what [G]hit [C]you[G]
When it all comes [C]down
[G]You will crawl through the[Am] rubble[C][D]
Of your one- horse [G]town[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]But beware the false prophet
[C]Who [G]foretells of this doo[C]m
[G]Sitting smu[Am]g and com[D]placent
In this mansion house [G]room[C][G]

[Verse 4]
Well [C]he poisoned [G]the[Am] bride the[D]n
[Em]ran [D]off with the g[G]room
Now he [C]travels by [Am]night 'neath [C]a
[D]world [C]weary moo[Dsus4]n[D]

[Verse 5]
He's a wandering [G]minstrel[C][G]
In a bodily [C]cut [G]suit[C][G]
[C]Resplendent with [Am]afro[C][D]
And electric [G]lute[C][G]
And [C]he's speaking in

[Verse 6]
[G]riddles[C][G]
And he's speaking [C]in tongues[G]
Whilst he plays [D]through
[Am]a fu[C]zzbo[D]x
To an audience of [G]one[C][G]

[Verse 7]
And he's speaking in [G]riddles[C]
[G]And he's spe[C]aking in ton[G]gues[C][G]
But [D]his words fall like [Am]snowflakes[D]
Which melt in [G]the sun[C][G]
So now [Em]is the

[Verse 8]
[G]time[C][G]
[C]To show that you [G]care[C][G]
You were [C]offered [Am]hope[Dsus4][D]
But you chose des[G]pair[C][G]
You were offered [Am]hope[C][D]
So why choose des[G]pair?[C]
[G][G][G][C]
