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

He sees them in the distance when the darkened clouds roll 
He could feel tension in the atmosphere 
He would look in the mirror, see an old man now 
Does it matter they survive somehow 

Em             C                G              D 
They said theres nothing can be done about the situation 
Em             C                 G     D 
They said theres nothing you can do at all 
Em          C              G            D 
To sit and wait around for something to occur 
        Em   G        D 
Did you know, did you know? 

As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows 
Wonders if theyll ever grow again 
The desperation of the situation getting graver 
Getting ready when the wild wind blows
