For all the mystery and tension in this tune, it's very simple. When I play it
on keyboards I keep a low "D" depressed throughout the song. (Actually I put a
roll of pennies on the key). I actually play the keyboard and guitar lines at
the same time using a volume pedal on my guitar.

[Intro]
Dm  C  Bb  C  x2

[Chorus]
Dm             C                   Bb          C  
I can feel it coming in the air tonight... oh Lord
Dm                         C                    Bb        C  
I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
Dm               C                   Bb         C   
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight.. oh Lord?
    Dm 
Oh Lord

[Verse 1]
         Dm                           
Well, if you told me you were drowning
  C                    
I would not lend a hand
     Bb                              
I've seen your face before, my friend
            F                        
But I don't know if you know who I am
    Dm                                
But I was there and I saw what you did
C                          
Saw it with my own two eyes
           Bb                                            
So you can wipe off that grin... I know where you've been
     F                      
It's all been a pack of lies

[Chorus]
Dm             C                   Bb          C  
I can feel it coming in the air tonight... oh Lord
Dm                         C                    Bb        C  
I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
Dm             C                   Bb          C  
I can feel it coming in the air tonight... oh Lord
Dm                         C                    Bb        C  
I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
    Dm 
Oh Lord

[Verse 2]
          Dm    
Well, I remember
I remember, don't worry
C                       
How could I ever forget?
          Bb                                F       
It's the first time... and the last time we ever met
    Dm                                            C
But I know the reason why you keep this silence up
No, you don't fool me
        Bb               
For the hurt doesn't show
But the pain still grows
        F                     
It's no stranger to you and me

[Chorus]
Dm             C                   Bb          C  
I can feel it coming in the air tonight... oh Lord
Dm                         C                    Bb        C  
I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
Dm                   C                  Bb       C  
I can feel it in the air tonight... oh Lord, oh Lord
Dm                         C                    Bb        C  
I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
Dm             C                   Bb          C  
I can feel it coming in the air tonight... oh Lord
Dm                         C                    Bb        C  
I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
Dm                   C                  Bb       C  
I can feel it in the air tonight... oh Lord, oh Lord
Dm                         C                    Bb        C  
I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
Dm                   C                  Bb       C  
I can feel it in the air tonight... oh Lord, oh Lord
Dm                         C                    Bb        C  
I've been waiting for this moment.. for all my life.. oh Lord
