(INTRO)
(VERSE ONE)
C
Every few thousand years
EmD
Come true man's greatest fears
Em
All the living things
CG
Mother Nature brings to tears
C
When the bombs are bursting in the air
EmD
And the rockets are making that red glare
Em
I'm heading down,
CEmG
Down to that good hope town, where the weather's fair
(CHORUS)
EmDEmC
So why don't you come away
GD
With me, my love
Em
We'll do what it takes
C
I'll keep you safe
EmDEmC
Why don't you stay by me
GC
And when the time comes
Em
We'll escape
(VERSE TWO)
C
When the big one finally hits LA
EmD
When Yellowstone has its day
Em
We're heading to the southern tip
C
On a plane or on a ship,
EmG
We'll do what it takes, we'll find a way
C
And if that cloud forms up above
EmD
No sign anywhere of a dove
Em
There'll be no reason left to stay
C
We'll try and live another day
EmG
In a place where there's still love
(CHORUS)
EmDEmC
So why don't you come away
GD
With me, my love
Em
We'll do what it takes
C
I'll keep you safe
EmCEmC
Why don't you stay by me
GC
And when the time comes
Em
We'll escape
We'll escape
EmCDG
Ohhh, come away with me, we'll escape. (x4)
