Usual disclaimers: You are allowed to use this file only for private study;
making money off of it is strictly verboten. If the chords don't line up
in whatever word processor you are using, change the whole document to
Courier font (or some other equal-spaced font). And lastly: this is my
interpretation of the song; no copyright infringement or toe-stepping-on is
intended.

I started working on this, and I ran into "interesting" problems. A lot of
the music (especially the breaks) seems to be played on Arabian instruments,
without the Western tonality. Hence I abandoned it. If anyone wants to work
out the rest of this song, feel free to do so, and let me know how things
turn out.

The guitar seems to be buried in the mix. Chords represent overall tonality.

The bass seems to be a fretless. Often times, during the Em sequences,
Eller will slide from an E up to an F# and back down again. Also, lower
case letters denote notes that the bass is playing.



        B(7)
They're 5 miles high as the crow flies,
NC
Leavin' vapour trails against a blood red sky
Movin' in from the East towards the West
With Balaclava helmets over their heads, yes!

	|  B   /d Bm7 |  G7  F Bb  |

    B(7)         D          Em7
But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming,

B7/F#        (D5)  Em7         /f /f#
Honey you've got another think coming.

   B(7)             (D)    Em7 /f /f#    /e /f# /f
If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name,

Bsus4     F       (B7)  (D5)    Em      /f /f# D
He'll cut out his heart     and turn in his    grave.

	chorus:

Asus2 +F# Dmaj7  Em /f /f# /e Esus4 F E5
Is-       lam is ri-          sing,

    B5    D    G5   (E5) /f /f# /e E7
The Christians mobiliz-             ing.

    F#m   B5 Dmaj7     C Em       E9
The world is on    its elbows and knees,

     B5/F# F#sus4 Bm7 Esus4 D Dm7 E7 /f /e    Em7         F#m
It's for-  gotten the message and wor-  ships the creeds.


	instr break


It's war, she cried, it's war, she cried, this is war
Drop your possessions, all you simple folk
You will fight them on the beaches in your underclothes
You will thank the good lord for raising the union jack
You'll watch the ships out of harbour and the bodies come floating back
You'll watch the ships out of harbour and the bodies come floating back

	pre-chorus & chorus & post-chorus
	bridge (radio)

If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
He'd be gunned down cold by the C.I.A.
Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart

But God didn't build himself that throne
God doesn't live in Israel or Rome
God doesn't belong to the Yankee Dollar
God doesn't plant the bombs for Hezbollah
God doesn't even go to church
And God won't send us down to Allah to burn
God will remind us what we already know
That the human race is about to reap what it's sown

	chorus
	
	3x:

The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds

Armageddon days are here again (4x)
