[Verse]
D                                       F        
Across a painted desert lies a train of vagabonds
D                                                 F     
All that's left of what we were it's what we have become
D                                              F   
Once our empires glorious but now the empire's gone
    D                                              F  C   
The dead gave us the time to live and now our time is done


[Chorus]
                      D                Dm    
Now we are victorious we've become our slaves
  Bb                              C                       
A land of hope and glory building graveyards for the brave
D          F        C              G    Dm
■ Have you seen the writing on the wall ■ 
         F         C      
Have you seen that writing
G   D     F       C             G    
Can ■ you see the riders on the storm
Bb               C     
Can you see them riding
Bb               C     
Can you see them riding

[Verse]
D                                          
Holding on to fury is that all we ever know
                                              F   
Ignorance our judge and jury all we've got to show
C                         G                       
From Hollywood to Babylon holy war to kingdom come
     D                                            F      
On a trail of dust and ashes when the burning sky is done


[Chorus]
  C                            D                Dm  
A tide of change is coming and that is what you fear
Bb                             C                     
The earthquake is a coming but you don't want to hear
       C                    
You're just too blind to see
D        F        C              G   
Have you seen the writing on the wall
D    Dm  F         C       G
Have you seen that writing ■
D   Dm  F       C             G    
Can you see the riders on the storm
Bb               C     
Can you see them riding
Bb               C                  Dm G7 
Can you see them riding riding next to you
