Capo 4

// Intro
C C/B Am7 (2x)
Em
// Verse
This is Cnot a C/Brebel Am7song
It's Cnot a C/Brebel Am7song
But I am Embleeding

He said I Ccrawled on C/Bhands and Amknees
I Cpushed my C/Bway thru Ambrush and trees
But a Cdeaf man C/Bsees what he Amwants to see
While he is EmreadingD

// Refrain
G Six o'clock and Call is well tonight
G I saw a horseman -- he wasC bloodied from the fight
Em He read thru pages as he Ctried to warn us all
Em He gave up and left the Cwritings Don the wall

C C/B Am7 (2x)
Em
// Verse
So we gathered 'round the square
Multitudes of empty stares
Well, we couldn't admit that we were scared
Of his revelation

So we came in from the cold
Ignoring what we had been told
Reaping what we shouldn't have sown
Like devastation

// Repeat refrain
C C/B Am7 (2x)
Em
Now upon us comes the siege
So much smoke it's hard to breathe
Well, someone call the cavalry
It's too late -- we're choking

Well, it comes as no surprise
The horseman wasn't telling lies
But we all chose to criticize
Well, he wasn't joking (too late)

// Repeat refrain (2x)
