[Verso 1]

G 
First the thunder came 
F 
Then the mountains fell 
    C 
The heavy sky grew darker 
    G 
The rising rivers swelled 
    G 
The earthly hum went silent 
F 
Every land a lake 
    C 
But just before oblivion 
   G 
I shook myself awake 


[Verso 2]
 
  G 
I put on my overcoat 
      F 
And I went out into the night 
   C 
I saw that the stars were still there 
G 
Just before the light 
       G 
Like a foal on its feet for the first time 
F 
Drinking the whole world in 
C 
Awed by a terrible beauty 
  G 
I heard the whole world sing 


[Refrão]

G 
Hey, that's really 
 F 
Something, that's really 
C 
Something, oh we're 
G 
Living now 
G 
Hey, that's really 
   F 
Something, that's really 
  C 
Something, yeah we're 
G 
Living now 


[Verso 3]

G 
Born out of nothingness 
F 
Gone of a will to live 
      C 
Like someone said, the love you take 
   G 
Is equal to the love you give 
     G 
From up on the hill the sturdy spreads its sails (?) 
        F 
Like an architect of time 
C 
Mapping out the dreams and peculiar follies 
G 
Born of a mental mind 


[Verso 4]

   G 
I put on my overcoat 
      F 
And I step out into the day 
  C 
I throw light on the savage beauty 
  G 
I hear the whole world say 


[Refrão]
 
G 
Hey, that's really 
 F 
Something, that's really 
C 
Something, oh we're 
G 
Living now 
G 
Hey, that's really 
F 
Something, that's really 
C 
Something, yeah we're 
G 
Living now

[Verso 5]
 
     G 
So I put on my overcoat 
      F 
And I slip out into the dawn 
        C 
All the morning stars, they sing together 
G 
Happy just to be born 
       G 
Yeah I put on my overcoat 
         F 
I'm just here to greet the day 
    C 
I'm drunk on all this stupid beauty 
   G 
I hear the whole world say
