A version with acoustic guitar players in mind.
Use any combination of these alternative chord shapes, or stick to one
set throughout. For variety, I like to use the open 4th string as the
drone for the earlier parts of the song, saving the bottom D until the
drum break and final choruses, hit the bass note first, then strum the
rest of the chord, but avoid the 5th string on the C and Bb chords.
 
TUNING:
D-A-D-G-B-E  (Dropped 'D')
(Tune bottom E string down to D)

[Chorus 1]
Dm                 C/D                   Bb/D       C/D
    I can feel it coming in the air to - night, oh, Lord,
Dm                                  C/D              Bb/D      C/D
    And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, Lord,
Dm                   C/D                   Bb/D       C/D        Dm *
    Can you feel it coming in the air to - night? Oh, Lord, oh, Lord!
 
[Verse 1]
         Dm                                Am/D
Well, if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand,
     Bb/D
I've seen your face before, my friend,
             F/D
But I don't know if you know who I am,
     Dm                                    Am/D
Well, I was there, and I saw what you did, saw it with my own two eyes,
           Bb/D
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been,
     F/D
It's all been a pack of lies!
 
[Chorus 2]
Dm                      C/D                   Bb/D       C/D
    And  I can feel it coming in the air to - night, oh, Lord,
Dm                                    C/D              Bb/D      C/D
    Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, Lord,
Dm                 C/D                   Bb/D       C/D
    I can feel it coming in the air to - night, oh, Lord,
Dm                                    C/D              Bb/D
    Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life,
    C/D        Dm *
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord!
 
[Verse2 ]
             Dm
Well, I re - mem - ber  ...I remember, don't worry!
              ^     ^
Am/D
       How could I ever forget?    
         Bb/D                          F/D
It's the first time, the last time, we ever met,
    Dm
But I know the reason why you keep this silence up,
Am/D
     ...No, you don't fool me,
          Bb/D
Well, the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows, 
          F/D
It's no stranger to you and me!
