Leaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground

I heard a story from the man in red
Eb

Such a beautiful sound

This town was meant for passing through
Boy it ain't nothin' new

You better run for the hills
Before they burn

Listen to the sound of the world
Don't watch it turn

And watch the clouds fall from the sky

Now Adam's taking bombs and he's stuck on his mom
