1 1                       1                       D 
    Darlings are you ready for the long winter's fall? 
 G                    F 
said the lady in her parlor 
 Am                     C       1  1  1 
said the butler in the hall. 
                            1 
Is there time for another? 
                            D 
cried the drunkard in his sleep. 
 G                   F 
Not likely said the little child. 
  Am                      C 1   F#m F#m F#m D C#  1 
What's done the Lord can keep. 

                                F#m 
And the vicar stands a-praying. 
Em                  D 
And the television dies 
G                     F 
as the white dot flickers and is gone 
     Dm               A  B 
and no-one stops to cry. 


 A   G F     C         D     F G 
Dark Ages shaking the dead 
 A      G F   C          D   F G 
Closed pages better not read 
 A    G F   C            D   F G  D B F# F# F# G5 
Cold rages burn in your head. 


Em 
  The big jet rumbles over runway miles 
  D                       Em  C D 
that scar the patchwork green 
  Em 
where slick tycoons and rich buffoons 
 D                  Em  C D 
have opened up the seam 
A                      Gsus4 G 
of golden nights and champagne flights 
D           E 
ad-man overkill 
A                Gsus4 G 
and in the haze consumer crazed 
 D                 B 
we take the sugar pill. 


 G   F Eb   Bb         C 
Dark Ages shaking the dead 
 G      F Eb  Bb         C 
Closed pages better not read 
 G    F Eb  Bb           C    Eb F G5 
Cold rages burn in your head. 


Em 
  Jagged fires mark the picket lines 
  D              Em  C D 
the politicians weep 
Em 
and mealy-mouthed 
   D                             Em          C D 
through corridors of power on tip-toe creep. 
 A              G 
Come and see bureaucracy 
 D              E 
make its final heave 
     A            Gsus4 G 
and let the new disorder through 
       D                 B 
while senses take their leave. 


 G   F Eb   Bb         C 
Dark Ages shaking the dead 
 G      F Eb  Bb         C 
Closed pages better not read 
 G    F Eb  Bb           C    Eb F G5 Em 
Cold rages burn in your head. 

Solo part

Em 
  Families screaming line the streets 
     D                 Em   C D 
and put the windows through 
Em 
in corner shops 
  D                                           Em  C D 
where keepers kept the country's life-blood blue. 
 A                    G 
Take their pick and try the trick 
 D                       E 
with loaves and fishes shared 
         A                   Gsus4 G 
and the vicar shouts as the lights go out, 
     D             B 
and no-one really cares. 


 G   F Eb   Bb         C 
Dark Ages shaking the dead 
 G      F Eb  Bb         C 
Closed pages better not read 
 G    F Eb  Bb           C    Eb F G5 
Cold rages burn in your head. 


                      1                       D 
Darlings are you ready for the long winter's fall? 
 G                    F 
said the lady in her parlor 
 Am                     C 
said the butler in the hall. 


 A   G F     C         D     F G 
Dark Ages shaking the dead 
 A      G F   C          D   F G 
Closed pages better not read 
 A    G F   C            D   F G  D B   F# F# F# D 
Cold rages burn in your head.
