[Verse 1]
 F               G
Nature has some new plague
          F            G
To run in our streets
 F                 G
History some new wrinkle
        F            G
We are doomed to repeat
Dm
 Fugitives at the bedroom door
 Am
Lovers pause to find an open store
 G
Rain is burning on the forest floor
         F
And the red tide kisses the shore


[Chorus]
  Am        G   Am
This is not a  false alarm
            G   Am    F    G
This is not a  test


[Verse 2]
F                   G
 Stay out of the sun
         F            G
It only burns my skin
F             G
 Sky full of poison
        F                  G
And the atmosphere's too thin
Dm7
 Bless the sun, the rain no more
 Am
River running like an open sore
  G
Black wind falling to the ocean floor
         F
And the red tide washes ashore


[Chorus]
  Am        G   Am
This is not a  false alarm
            G   Am
This is not a  test
            G   Am
Nowhere we can fly away
            G   C
Nowhere we can rest
     Dm          C
The party is disrupted by
   F          Gm7     F    G
An uninvited guest


[Verse 3]
F                 G
 Deadline approaches
         F          G
For the weary land
   F                    G
It used to be something
               F                   G
But we let it run down in our hands
 Dm7
Too late for debate, too bad to ignore
 Am
Quiet rebellion leads to open war
  G
Bring a sea-change to the factory floor
        F
As the red tide covers the shore

[Bridge]
 Gm        Bb      Eb       F
Now's the time to turn the tide
 Gm        Bb      Eb    F
Now's the time to fight
 Dm            C
Let us not go gently
       F               Gm7
To the endless winter night
 Am
Now's the time to make the time
       G
While hope is still in sight
 Dm            C
Let us not go gently
       F               Gm7
To the endless winter night
 Dm            C
Let us not go gently
       F               Gm7
To the endless winter night

This is not a  false alarm

            G   Am
Nowhere we can fly away
            G   C
Nowhere we can rest



[Outro]
 Dm            C
Let us not go gently
       F               Gm7
To the endless winter night
 Dm            C
Let us not go gently
       F               Gm7
To the endless winter night
 Dm            C
Let us not go gently
       F               Gm7    Dm7    F    Bb   C
To the endless winter night
        Dm7       F        Bb     C    Dm7    F    Bb   C
And the red tide kisses the shore
        Dm7       F        Bb     C
And the red tide kisses the shore
