Weeping

I k[D]new a m[A]an who l[D]ived in f[A]ear

It was h[D]uge, it was [G]angry, it was d[D]rawing n[A]ear

Behi[D]nd his h[A]ouse a s[D]ecret pl[A]ace

Was the s[D]hadow of the [G]demon he could n[A]ever f[D]ace.

He b[Em]uilt a w[A]all of s[Em]teel and fl[A]ame

And m[Em]en with gu[G]ns to ke[A]ep it ta[D]me

Then st[D]anding b[A]ack he ma[D]de it pl[A]ain

That the ni[D]ghtmare would n[G]ever ever r[A]ise ag[D]ain

[D7]But the f[G]ear and the f[D]ire and the g[A]uns rem[D]ain.

[G]   It doesn't [D]matter now,[G]   it's over [D]anyhow

[G]   He tells the [D]world that it's [A]sleep[D]ing    [D7]

[G]   But as the [D]night came round,[G]   I heard its [D]lonely sound

[G]   It wasn't [D]roaring, it was [A]   weep[D]ing   [D7]

[G]   It wasn't ro[D]aring, it was [A]   weep[D]ing.

And then one day the neighbours came
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame
They stood around outside the wall
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all

"My friends," he said, "We've reached our goal
The threat is under firm control
As long as peace and order reign
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."
