    verse: 
    Dm                   F/D       G/D         
    All the fields are smoke and flame 
     Dm            F / D - G / D 
    Fire in the sky 
    Dm                F/D   G/D  
    It's a state of emergency 
     Dm                        F / D - G / D 
    Much more than meets the eye 
     Dm         C/D      G/D 
    Just hide away your tears 
      Dm                 F      G 
    There are many more hidden fears 
    Bb         F        G       Dm           
    As the universal wheels go round'n'round 

    Guitar intro 

    verse: 
    Rivers of pollution 
    Taking life from living things 
    Running out of oxygen 
    There's no way to win 
    We ignore the signs of nature 
    Got to learn to live beside her 
    Bb         F       G        Am 
    As the universal wheels go round'n'round  

      middle 8: 
       B                C                B 
      Better take good care of all the things    
                   C - Am 
      You say and do 
       B                C  
      Look out for the warning sign 
       B              C 
      Now it's up to you 

      Play the chord 'F' over 16 bars! 
      Am - Am/F# - Am/G - Am - Am/F# - Am/G 
      Play the chord 'F' over 8 more bars! 
      Am - Am/F# - Am/G - Am - Am/F# - Am/G 
      Bm - Bm/G# - Bm/A

    verse: 
    There's a might eight point six 
    Waiting in the ground 
    When she opens up 
    This world will humble to the sound 
    There is only one one real power 
    Creating life by the hour 
     Bb         F       G     Bb          F       G 
    See the universal wheels, see the universal wheels 
     Bb        F       G         Dm 
    See the universal wheels go round'n'round
