[Verse 1]
B5 G5
Looking through the keyhole
A5 B5
As you hear the thunder roar
B5 G5
You see the lightning flashing
A5 B5
But you know not what it's for
B5 G5
There looks to be a stallion
A5 B5
With a rider on it's back
G5
You have seen him pass
A5 B5
And know that he'll be back
G5 A5 G5 F#5
[Verse 2]
B5 G5
He looks to be a wizard
A5 B5
Or perhaps a magic man
B5 G5
With eyes of liquid fire
A5 G5
Golden staff within his hand
B5 G5
And he rides above the mountains
A5 B5
With the secret that he holds
G5 A5 B5
The time has come, the people must be told
G5 A5
[Chorus]
G5 A5 G5
So shall it be written
A5
So shall it be done
G5 A5
Came the warning from the prophet
G5 A5 B5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
B5 G5 A5
B5 G5 A5
B5 G5 A5
G5 F#5
[Verse 3]
B5 G5
He looked upon the thousands
A5 B5
That had come to hear him speak
B5 G5
He warned them of the darkness
A5 B5
Of their evil and their greed
B5 G5
But somehow they ignored him
A5 B5
Though their faces filled with fear
G5 A5 B5
So he turned away and shed a single tear
G5 A5
[Chorus]
G5 A5 G5
So shall it be written
A5
So shall it be done
G5 A5
Came the warning from the prophet
G5 A5 B5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
B5 G5 A5
B5 G5 A5
B5 G5 A5
G5 F#5
[Verse 4]
B5 G5
Well his words had gone unheeded
A5 B5
Nothing more that could be done
B5 G5
He returned into the mountains
A5 B5
From where he had begun
B5 G5
Now he watches from the heavens
A5 B5
As the void is drawing near
G5 A5
And the prophet's words are ringin'
G A G A G A G F#
All too clear, all too clear, all too clear
[Guitar Solo]
B5 G5 A5
B5 G5 A5
B5 G5 A5
[Chorus]
G5 A5 G5
So shall it be written
A5
So shall it be done
G5 A5
Came the warning from the prophet
G5 A5 B5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Instrumental]
B5 G5 A5
B5 G5 A5
B5 G5 A5
[Chorus]
G5 A5 G5
So shall it be written
A5
So shall it be done
G5 A5
Came the warning from the prophet
G5 A5 B5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Outro]
B5 G5 A5
