Lirik dan Chord Lagu The Book of Numbers - Sting

For the hour is getting late

[Chorus]

Am        G       Dm

This holy Book of Numbers

      Dm               G               Am

As we walk through the shadow of death

Am       G                  Dm

Tell me, are you listening, boy

   Dm        G          Am

Or am I just wasting my breath?

          Am           G               C

There are fools in the courts of power

           Dm                  G                    Am

While I've walked through this vale of bitter tears

       Am         G         C

At the mercy of recording angels

          Dm               G          F

For three score and twenty-five years

[Outro]

    Am      G                C

The barkeep gets up from the table

   Am              G     C

To fill up another glass

   Am              G             C

He turns around to find an empty chair

           Am          G           C

All that's left is the name in his hat
