Intro: (x2)
E A
There will be droughts and days inundated
F#m B
Unveilings free from saturation
G#m A
Departures raised with no masquerading.
E A
There will be teachers that die by their own hand
F#m B
Pundits that push headlong for atonement
G#m A
Friends and followers devoted to living.
E A
There will be watchers that plot from in confines
F#m B
And those committed to society's circles
F#m B
Unwary cogs with no cadence or virtue.
C#m A
There will be right, there will be wrong.
A E B
Drop of the hat and its already started.
A E B
Just like that and the deed is done.
A E B
What I'd give for that hat to be medicine.

The time is now to be on the run.

E A
There will be machinations unforeseen
F#m B
Sleepwalking sense from a bad dream
G#m A
No promenade walk in the parkway.
E A
There will be catchwordsfilled with infection
F#m B
circulars to prop up occasion
G#m A
A golden mean to guide the footsteps.
E A
There will be levels on high hills that appraise
F#m B
there will be unchanging certainties
F#m B
barometers that follow the stampede.
C#m A
There will be right, there will be wrong.
Chorus
ABm
Solo:(x2)
E A
There will be signposts of indication
F#m B
Semephore ghost signs and warnings
G#m A
Hailstone halos and country blues wailings.
E A
There will be strains that break out of straight time
F#m B
But paid with grace, taking roads to the same place
G#m A
With consequence to repay what's been given.
E A
There will be layers of means to an end
F#m B
drawn out daysbefore resolution
F#m B
dregs will rain down from all directions.
C#m A
There will be right, there will be wrong.
Chorus
B E
