The Storm

Dm
Safe under covers tonight
Gm
Your face is happy and bright
A                     A7
There by the old fire light
      Dm  Gm F A
It is warm
Dm                       F
But we are the darkening clouds
C                    Gm
We are the gathering swarm
Dm      A          Dm
We are, we are The storm
Bb                                          Dm
You built your towers on back-broken Bowery sailors
F                            C                       G
On mothers and fathers still crying for their second-born
Dm
We took the keys from your jailer
Gm                    Bb
His body is festering torn
Dm              A
'Cause we are, we are
Dm      Gm
The storm

( F  A7  Dm  F  A7 )

Dm
These bodiеs came out of the soil
Gm
Ripped out of gypsum and oil
A
All just yours to spoil
Dm      Gm F A7
And dеform
Dm                      F
But now this old galleon rolls
C                             Gm
Galloping straight 'round the horn
Dm      A
We are, we are
Dm
The storm
Bb                                                 Dm
So it's haul away, comrades, ropes over blistering shoulders
F                                 C                             G
As the wind shakes the barley and carries on right through the corn
Dm
There'll be no forgiveness tonight
Gm                  Bb
Only fair Zilliah's thorn
Dm              A
'Cause we are, we are
Dm
The storm

( Gm  F  E  Dm  Gm  F  E )
( Dm  A  A7  Bb )
( F  D  G )
( Bb  C  Dm  Bb  C )

Bb                                                 Dm
So it's haul away, comrades, ropes over blistering shoulders
        F                        C                              G
As the wind shakes the barley and carries on right through the corn
Bb                                              Dm
And we ain't gonna stop 'til we are satisfied soldiers
F                  C                    G       Dm
Rich men, big men, fattened up, happy, reborn
Dm
And so the wheel comes 'round again
C                               Gm
And we're safe by the fire so warm
Dm      A
We are, we are
Dm      Gm  F  A  Dm
The storm
