[Verse]
        D       A          D         A
I knew a man who lived in fear

           D                     G                   D           A
It was huge, it was angry, it was drawing near

D                  A             D    A
Behind his house a secret place

                D                      G                        A        D
Was the shadow of the demon he could never face.

[Bridge]
        Em       A     Em             A
He built a wall of steel and flame

            Em          G          A        D
And men with guns to keep it tame

              D           A          D           A
Then standing back he made it plain

                D                         G               A D
That the nightmare would never ever rise again

D7           G                D                  A      D
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain.

[Chorus]
G              D                G             D
It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow

G                  D                      A D     D7
He tells the world that it's sleeping

G                      D                  G                   D
But as the night came round, I heard its lonely sound

G                 D            A           D D7
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping

G                D              A       D
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.

[Verse]
           D            A        D                 A
And then one day the neighbours came

                      D                G                      D            A
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame

                D      A              D          A
They stood around outside the wall

                      D                  G                   A        D
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all

[Bridge]
           Em            A                   Em              A
"My friends," he said, "We've reached our goal

             Em          G    A     D
The threat is under firm control

D                    A            D   A
As long as peace and order reign

D                                  G                    A          D
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain

                D7                 G                 D A D
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."
