 I kDnew a mAan who lDived in fAear

 It was hDuge, it was Gangry, it was dDrawing nAear

 BehiDnd his hAouse a sDecret plAace

 Was the sDhadow of the Gdemon he could nAever fDace.

Bridge

 He bEmuilt a wAall of sEmteel and flAame

 And mEmen with guGns to keAep it taDme

 Then stDanding bAack he maDde it plAain

 That the niDghtmare would nGever ever rAise agDain

D7But the fGear and the fDire and the gAuns remDain.

Chorus

G It doesn't Dmatter now,G it's over Danyhow

G He tells the Dworld that it's AsleepDing D7

G But as the Dnight came round,G I heard its Dlonely sound

G It wasn't Droaring, it was A weepDing D7

G It wasn't roDaring, it was A weepDing.

Verse

And then one day the neighbours came

They were curious to know about the smoke and flame

They stood around outside the wall

But of course there was nothing to be heard at all

Bridge

"My friends," he said, "We've reached our goal

The threat is under firm control

As long as peace and order reign

I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain

Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."
