The Terror Time Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
The [A]heather will fade
and the bracken will die
[G]Str[A]eams will run cold and c[G]lear
An[D]d the small birds will be going
[A]And it's then that you will be kno[G]wing
[A]that the terror tim[D]e is [A]near.
Where will you turn now,
and where will you bide,
now that the work's all [G]done?[A]
[G]For [D]the farmer doesn't [A]need you,
and the council will not heed you.
And the terror [D]time [A]has come
The woods give no shelter,
and the trees are all [D]bare
[A]Snows falling all [Em]around,
[A]and the children,
[D]are cry[A]ing for the bed on which they are lying.
It's frozen to [G]the [A]ground
The frost won't lift
and the stove won't draw
There's ice in the water[G],
churn in the [D]mud
and snow you're sloshing,
[A]trying to do your bit of was[Em]h in[G]g.[Em]
[A]And the kindling [G]won't [A]bur[D]n
[A]When you need the warmth
of your own human[D]kind
You [A]pull near a town,
[G]but then they say the
[D]sight of you's offending
[A]And the police they are sen[G]d in[Em]g[G]
[A]And you're on the road again
The leather will fade
and the bracken will [D]die.
[A]Streams will run cold and [G]clear
an[D]d the small b[A]irds will be g[D]o i[A]ng.
And it's then that you will
[G]be know[Em]ing
[A]That the terror [G]time [D]is near.
