              E (4)

I had a dream last night while I was laying in my bed

               E (4)
And the whole world was standing still and the moon was turning red.
             E (4)

I saw a sign in the sky, I have come to set you free

               E (4)
There’s a light shining bright, shining down, down on me.

Chorus:

         E                  G                        A                  E
I saw fire, fire and brimstone coming down on my head

         E                   G                        A                  E
I saw fire, fire and brimstone coming down on my head.


             E (4)

I look around, I saw eyes, I heard a voice say “come to me”

              E (4)
I felt the rumbling beneath my feet and the whole world was shaking free

              E (4)
And the sun was standing still, it was dark, but I could see.

Chorus

/ E - - - / x17


Chorus

             E (4)

I look around, I saw eyes, I heard a voice say “come to me”

              E (4)
I felt the rumbling beneath my feet and the whole world was shaking free

End on E
