theme 1 G D
The writing's on the wall, brother
Gm/E Gm6/E D theme 1
Your life is in your hands
G#7 D
It's up to you to see the writing's
E7 A7sus4 D theme 2
on the wall

It looks you in the eye, mister
Gm/E Gm6/E D theme 1
It's time we stand up tall
G#7 D
Go see and under – stand the writing's
on the wall

Strange we hold on to things that have no grace or power
While death holds on to us much more with every passing hour

And all the time you thought it would last
Your life, your friends would always be [/]
'Til they're [/] drunk a – [/] way
or [/] shot a – [/] way
Em7 / A7 / D / theme 3
or die a – way from you

There's nothing that you need, sister
Gm/E Gm6/E D theme 2
The Lord is in you all
G#7 D
Life is designed to see the writing's
E7 A7sus4 D theme 2
on the wall

The music's in the air, mothers
Gm/E Gm6/E D theme 2
You may have heard it call
G#7 D
To you that you may see the writing's
on the wall

Hmmmm – hmmmmm – hmmmm – hmmmmm
oeoehh – oeoeoehh – oeoehhh

And all the time you thought it would last
Your life, your friends would always be [/]
But they're [/] drunk a – [/] way
or [/] shot a – [/] way
Em7 / A7 / D / theme 2
or die a – way from you

Be careful going home, sister
Gm/E Gm6/E D theme 2
Be watchful down that road
G#7 D
You've got a lot of love, sister
E7 A7sus4 D theme 2
More to grow

The writing's on the wall, brothers
Gm/E Gm6/E D theme 1
Your life is in your hands
G#7 D
It's up to you to see the writing's
on the wall /
G#7 D
I hope that you may see the writing
on the wall /

G#7 D
Hhhmmmm – hhmmmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm //
