Am-C-F-E/E7 (it varies between E & E7- i just play E7 all the time)
verse ------------------ the intro continues, guitar2 strums lightly the same chords
AmCFE Hell for leather, lathered, drunk, you're soused, youre pissed, your sunk, AmCFE7 The jukebox now, is drunk, just along the way, AmCFE I had a call last saturday to say id thrown my friends away AmCFE7 Reversed the charges, on em all, i made a lot of calls
chorus ------------------- (same chords)
(Is there a) storm coming? or are we just another shower? (Is this a) storm warning? has someone just cut the power? (is there a) storm coming? or are we just another shower? (is there a) storm coming, coming, coming...
second verse lyrics- -------------------
i would have kept you free from harm, rang the bells or raised alarms,
I would have them all at bay, except i thought i heard you say,
you're the leper boy you cant come in, the monkey god is now your king,
youre out, youre in, youre out, youre in, youre out, youre in, youre out
