Weeping(Chords)

	        Verse 
   C      G7       C        G7 
I knew a man who lived in fear, 
        C    C7       F              Am    G7 
It was huge, it was angry, it was drawing near 
   C      G7       C        G7 
Behind his house a secret place 
        C      C7       F              Am    G7 
Was the shadow of the demon he could never face. 

Bridge 
    Dm7      C       F         C 
He built a wall of steel and flame 
     F        G       G7sus 
And men with guns to keep it tame 
              G7        C       G7 
Then standing back he made it plain 
           C7              F        Am  Em/G C 
That the nightmare would never ever rise again 
         C7           F           F    G7 C 
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain. 

Chorus 
F             C          G            C 
   It doesn't matter now,   it's over anyhow 
F               C               G    C  C7 
   He tells the world that it's sleeping 
F             C                G              C 
   But as the night came round,   I heard its lonely sound 
F            C               G7  C  C7 
   It wasn't roaring, it was   weeping 
F              C             G7      C 
   It wasn't roaring, it was    weeping. 

Verse 
     C       G7       C         G7 
And then one day the neighbours came 
           C      C7       F         Am       G7 
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame 
     C       G7     C         G7 
They stood around outside the wall 
        C      C7       F             Am       G7 
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all 

Bridge 
    Dm7          C            F          C 
'My friends' he said, 'We've reached our goal 
     F        G      G7sus 
The threat is under firm control 
           G7        C      G7 
As long as peace and order reign 
           C7            F           Am  Em/G C 
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain 
         C7           F           F    G7 C 
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain.' 

Chorus 
F             C          G            C 
   It doesn't matter now,   it's over anyhow 
F               C               G    C  C7 
   He tells the world that it's sleeping 
F             C                G              C 
   But as the night came round,   I heard its lonely sound 
F            C               G7  C  C7 
   It wasn't roaring, it was   weeping 
F              C             G7      C 
   It wasn't roaring, it was    weeping. 

Outro 
     F       C        G7      C 
Say ah, say ah, say ah..
