:::::::::::: Atomic Power :::::::::::: by The Louvin Brothers Tabbed by Jeff Knobbe A Do you fear this man's invention D A That they call atomic power? Are we all in great confusion E Do we know the time or hour? A When a terrible explosion D A May rain down upon our land, Leaving horrible destruction E A Blotting out the works of man. A Are you, are you ready For that great atomic power? E Will you rise and meet your savior in the air? A Will you shout or will you cry D When the fire rains from on high? E A Are you ready for that great atomic power? A There is one way to escape D A And be prepared to meet the Lord, When the mushroom of destruction falls E There is a shielding sword. A He will surely stand beside you D A And you'll never taste of death, For your soul will fly to safety E A In eternal peace and rest. Are you, are you ready For that great atomic power? E Will you rise and meet your savior in the air? A Will you shout or will you cry D When the fire rains from on high?
