[C] [G] [Am] [G]
[C] [G] [C] [F] [G]
[C] [E] Something's going wrong [C] with the singer [E] and the song, and [C] the music isn't gentle [Dm] anymore.
There's a mist across the moon, and the sun's too hot at noon, and the house is dark behind the [G] broken door.
[C] Where the flowers [Em] used to grow, [C] withered leaves are [Em] hanging low, [C] and the constant shadow lies [Dm] across the floor.
There's a strange and empty sky, where the wild birds used to fly, and I never tasted bitter [G] rain before.
And [C] will the grass be gone from [F] underneath the sky?
[Dm] Will the golden [G] flower wither [C] soon and die?
[Am] Will the fire burn [Ab] out the land, [Am] and the [C] sea fill [F] up with sand?
[G] Will the last word ever spoken [Am] be why?
Will [F] the last word [G] ever spoken [C] be why?
[Em] Someone's lost the plan [C] for the brotherhood [Em] of man, [C] and no one's trying to find [Dm] it anymore.
And the winds become a sigh for those who hate and those who die, and the waves are black and slow [G] along the shore.
[C] And will the grass be gone from [F] underneath the sky?
[Dm] Will the golden [G] flower wither [C] soon and die?
[Am] Will the fire [E] burn out the land, [Am] and the sea fill [F] up with sand?
[G] Will the last word ever spoken [Am] be why?
[F] Will the last word [G] ever spoken [C] be [E] why?
[Am] Will [F] the last [G] word ever spoken [C] be [G] why?
