For all the mystery and tension in this tune, it's very simple. When I play it
on keyboards I keep a low "D" depressed throughout the song. (Actually I put a
roll of pennies on the key). I actually play the keyboard and guitar lines at
the same time using a volume pedal on my guitar.

[Chorus]
Dm C Bb C
I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord...
Dm C Bb C
I've been waiting for this moment..for all my life..oh lord...
Dm C Bb C

[Verse]
Dm
Well, when you told me you were drowning...
C
I would not lend a hand...
Bb
I've seen your face before my friend...
Dm
But I don't know if you know who I am...
Dm
But I was there and I saw what you did..
C
Saw it with my own two eyes...
Bb
So you can wipe off that grin...I know where you've been...
Dm
It's all been a pack of lies...
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb C
I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord...
Dm C Bb C
I've been waiting for this moment..for all my life..oh lord...
Dm C Bb C
I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord...
Dm
Oh lord...
[Verse]
Dm
Well, I remember...
I remember, don't worry...
C
How could I ever forget?
Bb Dm
It's the first time...and the last time we ever met...
Dm C
But I know the reason why you keep this silence up...
No, you don't fool me...
Bb
For the hurt doesn't show...
But the pain still grows..
Dm
Some stranger to you and me...
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb C
I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord...

I've been waiting for this moment..for all my life..oh lord...
Dm C Bb C
I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord...
Dm C Bb C
I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord...

I've been waiting for this moment..for all my life..oh lord...
