D          A   G      D
I see the bad moon a-rising
D       A     G       D
I see trouble on the way
D     A     G          D
I see earthquakes and lightning
D      A   G       D
I see bad times today

Chorus:
G
Don't go around tonight
            D
Well, it's bound to take your life
 A         G               D
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Chorus

Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

Chorus:
Well don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
