Def Leppard - When The Walls Came Tumbling Down: chords

Am                                 Dm
On the first day of the first month
                 E
in some distant year
               Am
The whole sky froze golden
                          Dm                     E
Some said it was the aftermath of the radium bomb
                        Am
While others told of a final retribution
              Dm           E
A terrible revenge of the gods

              Am              Dm
But we understood the grand finale
 E                         Am                   Dm
Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before
   E                 Am
So all that was left was.

F#m                               A
All the women were captured and chained
F#m                           A
And national suicide was proclaimed
F#m                           A
And New America fell to the ground
F#m                                    A
And all the children lay crippled and lame

E                           F
But all the nations came together
                              C
In fear of the thought of the end
                                 Am
No more would we fight in the streets
                        C
No courage had we to defend

Chorus:
                              Dm
When the walls came tumbling down
                              A#
When the walls came tumbling down
                                       Am
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
                              C
When the walls came tumbling down
                              Dm
When the walls came tumbling down
                              A#
When the walls came tumbling down
                                       Am
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound

Am
A blinding light the sun had died
A#                    G  C
A new moon took its place
Tidal waves and open graves the fate of the unhuman race
The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend
A sinner sits reciting Dylan it's now that I welcome the end
