[Verse 1]
[Em]Pali[Dm]ng we[C]ll [Bbdim]after six[Bm]teen days,[F#m][D][Em][G][Bm]
a [F#m]mammoth [A]task [Am]was set[Bbdim][Bm]
Sack [D]the town, [G]and rob the[Bm] tower,
[G]and[Bm] steal the alp[Em]habet[Bm][Ebdim][Em]
Close [D]the door [C]and bar the gate,
[Em]but keep[D] the windows clean[Dm][Ebdim][Em]
God's [D]alive [C]inside a m[G]ovie! Wat[C]ch
[Em]the silver screen!
[Am][Em][E][A]

[Verse 2]
Rum was [C]served to [G]all [C]the [D]traitors; pygmies
held [C]them[F] selves in ch[C]eck[Am]
Bloodhounds [G]nosed around the house[Bm]s,
[Em]down dark alle[Bm]ys sailors crept[Em][Bm][Em]
Six [A]bells [D]struck, [Em]the pot was boil[A]ing[Am]
-[A]soup [D]spilled [Am]out on passers-by
[D]Ang[Bm]els Angel[E]s mum[Bm]bled inc[E]antati[Em]ons, clo[Bm]sely wat[D]ched by [Am]God on hi[C]gh[Em]

[Verse 3]
Lightning struck out - fire and [D]brim[F#m]stone! Boiling
oil and shrieking [Gm]steam![A][Bb][C][A][D][Em][G]
[A]Darkness struck with molten fury,
[Bb]flashbulbs glorified the s[C]cene[D][D#][F][F#][G][A][Bb][C]
Not a man who had a fin[C#]ger,
not a man who could be [Dm]seen
Nothing called (not name [D]nor [D#]number) - Echo stormed its final scream

[Verse 4]
Daybreak [Bb]washed [G]with sands of gladness,
[Gm]rotting all [Eb]it rotted clean[Cm][C][Cm][Eb]
Windows [Bb]peeped [G]out on their neighbors,
[Gm]inside fires[Cm]ide bedsides gleam[Fsus4][F]
[Bb]SHALIMAR, the [F]trumpets [Bb]choru[Eb]sed,[Bb]
[F]ang[G]els wholly all[D] sha[G]ll tak[C]e[G][D]
[B]Those alive will [Cm]meet [B]the [Em]prophets,
[D]tho[C]se [G]at peace [Am]shall see th[D]eir wake[G]
