I see a bad moon a rising 
F     C       Bb     F 
I see trouble on the way 
F     C     Bb          F 
I see earth quakes and lightnin' 
F     C   Bb    F 
I see bad times today 
Bb 
Don't go around tonight 
           F 
Well, it's bound to take your life 
C         Bb              F 
There's a bad moon on the rise 
F      C       Bb      F 
I hear hurricanes a blowin' 
F          C      Bb     F 
I know the end is comin' soon 
F      C      Bb   F 
I feel rivers over flowin' 
F          C          Bb       F 
I hear the voice of   rage and ruin 
Bb 
Don't go around tonight 
           F 
Well, it's bound to take your life 
C         Bb              F 
There's a bad moon on the rise 

F        C        Bb        F 
Hope you got your things together 
F            C         Bb      F 
Hope you are quite prepared to die 
F                C      Bb    F 
Looks like we're in for nasty weather 
F           C      Bb     F 
One eye is takin   for an eye 
Bb 
Don't go around tonight 
           F 
Well, it's bound to take your life 
C         Bb              F 
There's a bad moon on the rise 
Bb 
Don't go around tonight

Well, it's bound to take your life 
C         Bb              F 
There's a bad moon on the rise
