D                         D/F#That sound, A beating of drums.
               A                   DSomething has happened, Somethings begun.
D                          D/F#A tremble in the soil underneath.

G                                       D/F#   AThey’ve seen my face on the 9 o clock news.
Em          F#m                      GI’m just an image they don’t want to live with.
