[Intro 1]
[D][Asus4][D][Asus4]
[D][Asus4][D][Asus4]

[Verse 1]
[D]I knew a [Asus4]man who l[D]ived in fear
[Asus4]It was huge, it [D]was angry,[G]
It was [Bm]drawing [Asus4]near.
Be[D]hind his house a secret place
[A]Was the[Asus4] shad ow [D]of the de mon[G]
He could [Bm]never [Asus4]face.

[Verse 2]
He [Em]built [D]a wall [G]of steel and [Asus4]flame
[D]And men[G] with gun[A]s to
keep it [D]tame
Then standing back he made it plain
[A]That the[Asus4] night ma[D]re would
[G]never ever [Bm]rise [D]again
But the fear and [G]the fire and
the [Asus4]guns remain[D].

[Verse 3]
[G]It doesn't mat[D]ter now[A]
it's [D]over anyhow
[G]He tells the[D] world that it's sle[A]ep in[D]g
[G]But as the nig[D]ht came rou[A]nd I hea[D]rd
It slowly sound
[G]It wasn't roa[D]ring, it was wee[G]ping
It wasn't [D]roaring, it [Asus4]was weepi[D]ng.

[Verse 4]
And [E]then one [A]day the [E]neighbours came
[B]They were cur[E]ious to kno[A]w about
[C#m]the smoke and [B]flame
[E]They stood [A]around
[E]outside [B]the wall
But of [E]course there was [A]nothing
to be [C#m]heard at [B]all
"My [F#m]friends," [E]he said,
"We've [A]reached our [B]goal
[A]The threat is un[E]der [B]firm control
[E]As long as pea[Bsus4]ce and or[B]der re[E]ign[B]
I'll be [E]damned if I can [A]see a
reason [C#m]to exp[B]lain[E]
Why the fear and [A]the fire and
the [C#m]guns r[B]e m[E]ain."

[Verse 5]
[A]It doesn't mat[E]ter now[B] it's over any[E]how
[A]He tells the[E] world that it's sle[B]eping[E]
[A]But as the[E] night came rou[B]nd I heard
[E]It slowly sound
[A]It wasn't roa[E]ring, it was[B] weeping[E]
[A]It wasn't roa[E]ring, it was[B] weeping.
[E]Say ah,
