                                                 Hey!
GmNine (355333@1)hours passed and how long will it last
          Bb (x1333x@1)                    C (x32010@1)         (D)
says the man with the plan and a gun in his hand.
     GmHe's (355333@1)scared but prepared it might be as he feared
           Bb (x1333x@1)                C (x32010@1)             (D)
are they still in control, and safe behind the wall.
       GmThis (355333@1)evening's too quiet, oh we need a real riot
    Bb (x1333x@1)                      C (x32010@1)         (D)
to shake and to break and to bite like a snake.
       GmWe're (355333@1)stuck in this attic so bored and so static,
    Bb (x1333x@1)                                   C (x32010@1)   D (xx0232@1)tomorrow they'll ask us to throw off our masks.
         Gm (355333@1)                         (Bb)
But the storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight,
         Eb (x43121@3)         Bb (x1333x@1)          Flike (133211@1)a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight.
      Gm (355333@1)                        BbThe (x1333x@1)storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight,
        Eb (x43121@3)           Bb (x1333x@1)            F (133211@1)               Gmlike (355333@1)a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight.

 GmMary's (355333@1)like me she's a loser to be,
       Bb (x1333x@1)                   C (x32010@1)         (D)
got a lock on her door and a bed on the floor.
           GmThey (355333@1)will know they will win and then they'll come in.
          Bb (x1333x@1)                     C (x32010@1)        (D)  
There's nothing you could say to lead them astray.
     GmWe (355333@1)still live in silence like sworn threats of violence.
    Bb (x1333x@1)                      C (x32010@1)                (D)
I long for an end and it's coming round the bend.
       GmIf (355333@1)we live through this night and we'd still be all right.
      Bb (x1333x@1)              C (x32010@1)             DWe'd (xx0232@1)flee to Siam or a bar in Amsterdam.

         Gm (355333@1)                          BbBut (x1333x@1)the storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight,
