Weeping by Josh Groban and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Vusi Mahlasela
Weeping
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
You can use your own
judgment and style for the timing of the D7 chord as the pickup to the next
measure, or even go straight from A to D7 if you like, especially right before
the
last line (the repeat). I've tried to space out the chorus to show how the
chords
fall in the rests between lyrics.
[Verse]
D A D A
I knew a man who lived in fear
D G D A
It was huge, it was angry, it was drawing near
D A D A
Behind his house a secret place
D G A D
Was the shadow of the demon he could never face.
[Bridge]
Em A Em A
He built a wall of steel and flame
Em G A D
And men with guns to keep it tame
D A D A
Then standing back he made it plain
D G A D
That the nightmare would never ever rise again
D7 G D A D
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain.
[Chorus]
G D G D
It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow
G D A D D7
He tells the world that it's sleeping
G D G D
But as the night came round, I heard its lonely sound
G D A D D7
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
G D A D
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
[Verse]
D A D A
And then one day the neighbours came
D G D A
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame
D A D A
They stood around outside the wall
D G A D
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all
[Bridge]
Em A Em A
"My friends," he said, "We've reached our goal
Em G A D
The threat is under firm control
D A D A
As long as peace and order reign
D G A D
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain
D7 G D A D
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."
[Chorus]
G D G D
It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow
G D A D D7
He tells the world that it's sleeping
G D G D
But as the night came round, I heard its lonely sound
G D A D D7
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
G D A D
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
The chords for the ad lib break before the final ending are:
G D A D
