(Em)-(G)-(A)

Let (Em)no man de(G)ceive you by (A)word or by (Bm)letter
That the (Em)day of our (G)Lord is at (A)hand,
For (D)that day shall (Em)not come
Ex(G)cept there shall (A)be a (Bm)great falling (Em)away (A)first,
And (Em)that man of (G)sin,
The (A)son of per(Bm)dition,
(Em)He shall (G)be re(A)vealed.
From (D)Egypt he (Em)shall come,
(G)The Devil's (A)son,
With his (Bm)mark the (Em)world shall be (A)sealed.

(Em)-(G)-(A)-(Bm)
(Em)-(G)-(A)

(Em)Signs in the (G)sun, the (A)stars and the (Bm)moon,
(Em)Men's hearts (G)failing for (A)fear,
For (D)this great red (Em)beast with (G)terror shall (A)rule the world
For (Bm)three and (Em)one half (A)years;
And (G)just when it looks like the (A)end for God's children,
(D)The Lord shall ap(G)pear,
And (G)then shall all the (A)tribes of the earth mourn
(D)When they shall (G)hear Jesus saying,

First Chorus:
(D)"Stop the world, (A)stop the (D)world,
I'm (G)taking My (D)children (A)home.(D)
(D)Stop the world, (A)stop the (D)world,
I'm (G)taking My (D)children (A)home."(D)

(Em)-(G)-(A)-(Bm)
(Em)-(G)-(A)

As (Em)lightning (G)shines from the (A)east to the (Bm)west
So (Em)shall the Son of (G)man re(A)turn,
Right (D)after those (Em)days of (G)Great Tribu(A)lation,
In the (Bm)sight of (Em)the whole (A)world.
(G)Just when it looks like the (A)end for God's children
(D)The Lord shall ap(G)pear,
And (G)then shall all the (A)tribes of the earth mourn
(D)When they shall (G)hear Jesus saying,

Second Chorus:
(D)"Stop the world, (A)stop the (D)world,
I'm (G)taking My (D)children (A)home.(D)
(D)Come, thou good and (A)faithful (D)servants,
In(G)to the (D)joy of thy (A)Lord."(D)
