[Verse 1]
E5 C5
Looking through the keyhole
D5 E5
As you hear the thunder roar
E5 C5
You see the lightning flashing
D5 E5
But you know not what it's for
E5 C5
There looks to be a stallion
D5 E5
With a rider on it's back
C5
You have seen him pass
D5 E5
And know that he'll be back
C5 D5 C5 B5
[Verse 2]
E5 C5
He looks to be a wizard
D5 E5
Or perhaps a magic man
E5 C5
With eyes of liquid fire
D5 C5
Golden staff within his hand
E5 C5
And he rides above the mountains
D5 E5
With the secret that he holds
C5 D5 E5
The time has come, the people must be told
C5 D5
[Chorus]
C5 D5 C5
So shall it be written
D5
So shall it be done
C5 D5
Came the warning from the prophet
C5 D5 E5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
E5 C5 D5
E5 C5 D5
E5 C5 D5
C5 B5
[Verse 3]
E5 C5
He looked upon the thousands
D5 E5
That had come to hear him speak
E5 C5
He warned them of the darkness
D5 E5
Of their evil and their greed
E5 C5
But somehow they ignored him
D5 E5
Though their faces filled with fear
C5 D5 E5
So he turned away and shed a single tear
C5 D5
[Chorus]
C5 D5 C5
So shall it be written
D5
So shall it be done
C5 D5
Came the warning from the prophet
C5 D5 E5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
E5 C5 D5
E5 C5 D5
E5 C5 D5
C5 B5
[Verse 4]
E5 C5
Well his words had gone unheeded
D5 E5
Nothing more that could be done
E5 C5
He returned into the mountains
D5 E5
From where he had begun
E5 C5
Now he watches from the heavens
D5 E5
As the void is drawing near
C5 D5
And the prophet's words are ringin'
C D C D C D C B
All too clear, all too clear, all too clear
[Guitar Solo]
E5 C5 D5
E5 C5 D5
E5 C5 D5
[Chorus]
C5 D5 C5
So shall it be written
D5
So shall it be done
C5 D5
Came the warning from the prophet
C5 D5 E5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Instrumental]
E5 C5 D5
E5 C5 D5
E5 C5 D5
[Chorus]
C5 D5 C5
So shall it be written
D5
So shall it be done
C5 D5
Came the warning from the prophet
C5 D5 E5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Outro]
E5 C5 D5
