Verse 1:
Dm 
Across a painted desert lies 
                F 
A train of vagabonds 
Dm 
All that's left of what we were 
                    F 
It's what we have become 
Dm 
Once our empires glorious 
                      F 
But now the empire's gone 
Dm 
The dead gave us the time to live 
                     F 
And now our time is done 
 
Pre-Chorus
C 
Now we are victorious 
   Dm 
We've become our slaves 
Bb 
A land of hope and glory building 
  C 
Graveyards for the brave 


Dm         F        C             G 
Have you seen the writing on the wall 
Dm         F         C      G 
Have you seen that writing 
Dm       F       C              G 
Can you see the riders on the storm 
Bb                C 
Can you see them riding 
 Bb                C 
Can you see them riding

Verse 2:
Dm 
Holding on to jury 
                     F 
Is that all we ever know 
Dm 
Ignorance our judge and jury 
                  F 
All we've got to show 
      C 
From Hollywood to Babylon 
     G 
Holy war to kingdom come 
       Dm 
On a trail of dust and ashes 
                          F 
 When the burning sky is done 

 
Pre-Chorus
   C 
A tide of change is coming 
     Dm 
And that is what you fear 
Bb 
The earthquake is a coming 
     C 
But you don't want to hear 

You're just too blind to see
