How Long II

Tom Darilek: How Long II (2012)

Originally written by John Michael Talbot Lyric revisions by Tom Darilek (2012) Tune guitar down ½ step! Play E Intro: E D - A - E, D - A - E, D - A - E D - A - E, D - A - E E -A E There’s a tribulation comin’, comin’ to us all. E Even now it’s tearin’ down the country. Are you preparin’ for the fall? A E The banksters gave out money, like grandma’s house on Halloween: sight unseen. B D A E But a shadow, it is fallin’, fallin’ on greed and trickery. Oh, oh, oh... You got to head on down to the survivalist’s store or search “freeze dried” online, Buy a ton o’ food and bolts for the doors, while you still got time. And don’t forget that Coleman fuel, products to keep your water pure! Keep it pure! Cuz when the party’s over, we’re gonna have to clean up. That’s for sure. That’s for sure. Chorus: B A E And can you tell me, how long, how long, do ya think, it’s gonna last? B A E Can ya tell me, how long, how long will we avoid the FEMA camps? B D-A E Oh, won’t ya tell me, how long, how long? Repeat intro Turn your home into a lifeboat! It’s gonna be a trip. Pray one day you can look back and say, “We survived the sinkin’ ship.” Get gold, guns and groceries! Tell your family, friends and neighbors, “Prepare for danger!” Decide how you’ll greet your Savior, when He comes to you, comes to you as a stranger! Babe in a manger… Chorus: B A E And can you tell me, how long, how long, do ya think, it’s gonna last? B A E And can you tell me, how long, how long, ‘til we acquire a taste for cats? B D-A E Oh, won’t ya tell me, how long, how long? B D-A E Oh, can ya tell me, how long, how long? B D-A E End: D-A-E And can ya tell me, how long, how long?
