[Intro]*
E A 2x
[Verse] 
        E                   A
There's somethin' happenin' here
        E                A
What it is ain't exactly clear
          E                    A
There's a man with a gun, over there
        E             A
Tellin' me I got to beware
 
[Chorus]
 
(I think it's time we)
E               D
Stop, children, what's that sound?
A                       C     E
Everybody look - what's goin' down?
 
E A 2x
 
[Verse]
 
        E                  A
There's battle lines bein' drawn
         E                    A
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
             E              A
Young people speakin' their minds
        E                  A
Gettin' so much resistance from behind
 
[Chorus]
 
(I think it's time we)
E               D
Stop, children, what's that sound?
A                       C     E
Everybody look - what's goin' down?
 
E A 2x
 
[Verse]
 
E                        A
What a field day for the heat
  E                      A
A thousand people in the street
        E                  A
Singin' songs and carryin' signs
       E                       A
Mostly sayin', "hooray for our side"
 
[Chorus]
 
(It's time we..)
E               D
Stop, children, what's that sound?
A                       C     E
Everybody look - what's goin' down?
 
[Interlude]
 
E A  2x
 
[Bridge]
 
E                A
Paranoia strikes deep
E                      A
Into your life it will creep
   E                          A
It starts when you're always afraid
            E                      A
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
 
[Chorus]
 
(I think it's time we)
E               D
Stop, children, what's that sound?
A                       C     E
Everybody look - what's goin' down?
(I think it's time we)
E               D
Stop, children, what's that sound?
A                       C         E
Everybody look - what's goin' you better?
(I think it's time we)
E          D
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
A                       C         E
Everybody look - what's goin' you better?
(I think it's time we)
E          D
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
A                       C     E
Everybody look - what's goin' down?

"There must be some way out of here," 
said the joker to the thief, 
"There's too much confusion, 
I can't get no relief. 

Businessmen, they drink my wine, 
plowmen dig my earth, 
None of them along the line 
know what any of it is worth." 

"No reason to get excited," 
the thief, he kindly spoke,

All along the watchtower, 
princes kept the view 
While all the women came and went, 
barefoot servants, too. 
Outside in the distance 
a wildcat did growl, 
Two riders were approaching, 
the wind began to howl.
