CAPO: 5th Fret
 
 
                   PART THE 1st: 'The Leader'
 
 
INTRO: Am F Em F G Am Em7 F
 
  Am                         F
I looked to the North, and I turned to the West,
      Em                   F
For a sign, a light in the sky,
        G                          Am   Em7 F
Oh, the message is clear, that the time is  near,
      Am        Em    F
For a leader to come again
 
 
  Am                      F
A circle of stones on the head of a hill,
  Em       C     Em      F
Tonight is where it will be,
        G                      Am    Em  F
In this desolate place, we all stand and wait,
      Am        Em    F
For a leader to come again
      Am          Em    F
Yes a leader will come again,
 
 
G          Am       Am Am G Am
For it is written,
       Am     G       Am
That a leader will be here,
G          Am      Am Am G Am
And then a vision,
        F
Left me blinded by the light,
       G                            Am
And it started right in front of my eyes...
 
 
 
                    PART THE 2nd: 'The Vision'
 
 
INTRO: Am
 
      G                  Am
And I saw a burning chariot,
        F                     Em                    F
And the four horsemen of the apocalypse, waiting on high,
C     G                 C
And I heard the thunder rolling in,
      Em                                             F - Bb - Am
And behold our leader on a pale horse, riding in the sky
 
Yeah yeah yeh
 
 
C     G               Am
And I saw this land a battlefield,
       F                Em                  F
With a hundred thousand men, fighting hand to hand,
C     G                   C
And I heard the sounds of victory,
        Em                                                F   G
And the rivers ran red with the blood of our enemies, and I____
 
 
      C                     F
I saw fire (fire), from the sky,
      C                      F          C   G
I saw fire (fire), and I saw paradise, (paradise,)
C
Fire (fire), from the sun, I saw fire,
          F         E  D C  Bm C     Am
And I saw Alpha and O--mega ha-ha-ha-ha
 
 
Lead Break: G Am  G Am  G F  C G  Am  F Em F C G  C  Em  F G
 
 
C
Fire,
                      F          C   G
I saw fire, and I saw paradise, (paradise,)
 
Fire, I saw fire...

                    PART THE 3rd: 'What About Me?'
 
 
INTRO: Am Em G C 
 
                 Em     D              Em
I am left in the night, trembling with fear,
       C           Em              ?         C
I have seen to the future, and the future is here,
    Em                G                D          Em
Our leader will bring victory, but our land is in flames,
           Am              G           F              B
And as the final sounds of battle disappear, I had to say...
 
 
N.C.       C       D            Em                 D Em E 
What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,
D          C Em G   D                         Em
What about me,  and you, and the ones that we love,
 
Well what about us?
