[Verse 1]
A5 F5
Looking through the keyhole
G5 A5
As you hear the thunder roar
A5 F5
You see the lightning flashing
G5 A5
But you know not what it's for
A5 F5
There looks to be a stallion
G5 A5
With a rider on it's back
F5
You have seen him pass
G5 A5
And know that he'll be back
F5 G5 F5 E5
[Verse 2]
A5 F5
He looks to be a wizard
G5 A5
Or perhaps a magic man
A5 F5
With eyes of liquid fire
G5 F5
Golden staff within his hand
A5 F5
And he rides above the mountains
G5 A5
With the secret that he holds
F5 G5 A5
The time has come, the people must be told
F5 G5
[Chorus]
F5 G5 F5
So shall it be written
G5
So shall it be done
F5 G5
Came the warning from the prophet
F5 G5 A5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
A5 F5 G5
A5 F5 G5
A5 F5 G5
F5 E5
[Verse 3]
A5 F5
He looked upon the thousands
G5 A5
That had come to hear him speak
A5 F5
He warned them of the darkness
G5 A5
Of their evil and their greed
A5 F5
But somehow they ignored him
G5 A5
Though their faces filled with fear
F5 G5 A5
So he turned away and shed a single tear
F5 G5
[Chorus]
F5 G5 F5
So shall it be written
G5
So shall it be done
F5 G5
Came the warning from the prophet
F5 G5 A5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
A5 F5 G5
A5 F5 G5
A5 F5 G5
F5 E5
[Verse 4]
A5 F5
Well his words had gone unheeded
G5 A5
Nothing more that could be done
A5 F5
He returned into the mountains
G5 A5
From where he had begun
A5 F5
Now he watches from the heavens
G5 A5
As the void is drawing near
F5 G5
And the prophet's words are ringin'
F G F G F G F E
All too clear, all too clear, all too clear
[Guitar Solo]
A5 F5 G5
A5 F5 G5
A5 F5 G5
[Chorus]
F5 G5 F5
So shall it be written
G5
So shall it be done
F5 G5
Came the warning from the prophet
F5 G5 A5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Instrumental]
A5 F5 G5
A5 F5 G5
A5 F5 G5
[Chorus]
F5 G5 F5
So shall it be written
G5
So shall it be done
F5 G5
Came the warning from the prophet
F5 G5 A5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Outro]
A5 F5 G5
