[Verse 1]
Blinkered against the [G]harsh and raging [Am]sun[G]
They said, "Divert your gaze,
[Gsus4]don't loo[G]k beh[F]ind"[C][G]
It was [D]time, [C]they said,
to do that [G]thing[Am][G]
Mindful, they, of peace and peace

[Verse 2]
[G]"Don't feel bad," they said,

[Gsus4]neath the tre[G]mbling feet
[C]Mrs[G]

[Verse 6]
[G]Maybe if Lot had [Gsus4]stopped

And maybe if Peter [Gsus4]had

So pay the ransom,
