(The first thing that I saw as}
     F
The fisherman smiled at me
     F#              A
Were fields of empty people
F
Floating out to sea
    F#                  A
The rain lashed down in darkness
Em                  Bm  Bsus2
A lizard blinked an eye
    A                   G        A
And time stopped in the silence
G                     F#
The small fish gave a cry
-----------------------------

    F#                A
The next thing that I saw as,
F
Things were fading fast
     F#                   A
Were dreams of children's laughter,
F
Smouldering to dust
    F#                  A
The rain lashed down in darkness
Em                  Bm  Bsus2
A lizard blinked an eye
    A                   G        A
And time stopped in the silence         (PLAY FILL IN PART)
G                     F#
The small fish gave a cry

The last thing that I saw as, my life passed by
     F#              A        F
Were fields of empty people, laying down to die
     F#                 A
The rain lashed down in darkness
Em                  Bm  Bsus2
A lizard blinked an eye

And time stopped in the silence         (PLAY FILL IN PART)
G                    F#
To watch the burning sky.
