[Verse]
Em C
The wands of smoke are rising
D G
From the walls of the Bastille
C Am
And through the streets of Paris
D B7
Runs a sense of the unreal
Em C
The Kings have all departed
D G
Their servants are nowhere
C Am
We burned out their mansions
D B7
In the name of Robespierre
[Chorus]
C
And still we wait
D G D G
To see the day begin
C D G D G
Our time ... is wasting in the wind
B C
Wondering why
B C
Wondering why, it echoes
Em B [ Em ]
Through the lonely palace of Versailles
[Interlude]
| Em Am | D Gmaj7 | Cmaj7 Am | B |
[Verse]
Em C
Inside the midnight councils
D G
The lamps are burning low
C Am
On you sit and talk all through the night
D B7
But there's just no place to go
Em C
And Bonaparte is coming
D G
With his army from the south
C Am
Marat your days are numbered
