Em D

The rock is gonna fall on us, he woke with a start

B C

And he ran to his mother, the fear dark in his heart

Em D

He told her of the vision that he was sure he'd seen

B C B Em

She said: "Go back to sleep son, you're having a bad dream!"

G

Everybody knows the rock leans over the town

D

Everybody knows that it won't tumble to the ground

C

Remember Chicken Little said the sky was falling down

B C B Em - C-Em

Well nothing ever came of that, the world still whirls around

Em D

"The rock is gonna fall on us," he stood and told the class

B C

The professor put his chalk down and peered out through his glasses

Em D

But he went on and said; "I've seen it, high up on the hill

B C B Em

If it doesn't fall this year then very soon it will!"

G

Everybody knows the rock leans over the town

D

Everybody knows that it won't tumble to the ground

C

We've more important studies than your fantasies and fears

B C B Em-C-Em

You know that rock's been perched up there for a hundred thousand years

Em D

"The rock is gonna fall on us." He told the magistrates

B C

"I believe that we can stop it but the time is getting late

Em D

You see I've done all the research my plans are all complete."

B C B Em

He was showing them contingencies when they showed him to the street
