[Intro]
 
G D x2
 
[Verse 1]
  G                     D
Hurricanes spit and tornado
  Fm                 Em
Growl over London today
  G            D     G         A
Brought some God-fire to the state
  G                   D
Beam onto Earth Jerusalem
     Fm              Em
The spirit it comes upon a mighty wave
G           D     G      A
Felt some God-fire in its wake
 
[Chorus]
A
I call to the dance, now the party begun
A
Alcohol, holiday, I'm a drunken bass drum
A
Levitating youth jump around the May Queen
A                                   G           D
A time for revival or maybe just a marvelous dream
 
G   D
 
[Verse 2]
         G                          D
And the moon rises high, it come call me
     Fm                    Em
The end of the cycle has come again
  G            D   G    A
(Oh) I am helpless, innate
  G                        D
Awake in the matin next morning
  Fm                  Em                  G
Empty a belly and courting my time on earth
         D   G    A
I am helpless advocate
 
[Chorus]
A
I call to the dance, now the party begun
A
Alcohol, holiday, I'm a drunken bass drum
A
Old gander moon (?) spirit side go swap your beds
A                                                  G          D
The looters of your heart will prove that you are not quite dead
