Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
You are running ’round
Cadd9
A dead end street
G D
Chasin’ down your enemy
D
When he’s on the ground
Cadd9
beneath your final blow
G
he cries, “Don’t you recognize me?”
D
“I’m your brother.”
[Chorus]
Cadd9
When the rain has come
D
when the rain has come
Cadd9 G D
Will you build your boat or burn your neighbor’s down?
[Verse 2]
D
You are sacred now
Cadd9
in your bones and skin
G
in your fortress walls
D
gossamer thin
D
and you dream at night
Cadd9
on a feather bed
G
that rests upon the backs
D
of the dead
[Chorus]
Cadd9
When the trumpets sound
D
when the trumpets sound
Cadd9 G D
When the trumpets sound, will you drown them out as well?
[Bridge]
F G D
What is left to purify?
F G
Can’t you see your reflection
D
in the flood water?
F G D
Will you claim your name as it is wiped from the stone?
F G D
Will you tremble at the sight of the harbinger?
D G/B G D
[Chorus]
Cadd9
When the rain has come
D
when the rain has come
Cadd9 G D
Will you build your boat or burn your neighbor’s down?
