Am Dm On the first day of the first month E in some distant year Am The whole sky froze golden Dm E Some said it was the aftermath of the radium bomb Am While others told of a final retribution Dm E A terrible revenge of the gods Am Dm But we understood the grand finale E Am Dm Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before E Am So all that was left was. F#m A All the women were captured and chained F#m A And national suicide was proclaimed F#m A And New America fell to the ground F#m A And all the children lay crippled and lame E F But all the nations came together C In fear of the thought of the end Am No more would we fight in the streets C No courage had we to defend Chorus: Dm When the walls came tumbling down A# When the walls came tumbling down Am Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound C When the walls came tumbling down Dm When the walls came tumbling down A# When the walls came tumbling down Am Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound Am A blinding light the sun had died A# G C A new moon took its place Tidal waves and open graves the fate of the unhuman race The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend A sinner sits reciting Dylan it's now that I welcome the end Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  A#  C  Dm  E  F  F#m  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
