A6                F#m
There's a final curtain
A6                  F#m
there's the dotted line
A6          F#m
No more celebration
C#7
no rum no brandy no sparkling wine
D7                   C#7
the bad news has arrived
A    B7     F#m
it's closing time

A6               F#m
Put on all your armor
A6               F#m
march yourself in line
A6          F#m
swallow all your feelings
C#7
'cause it's coming down to hit tonight
D7                   C#7
the bad news has arrived
A   B7     F#m
it's closing time

A6                  F#m
Hide your sons and daughters
A6                  F#m
keep their fragile minds
A6                  F#m
let them read the papers
C#7
but cover up the bold headlines
D7                   C#7
the bad news has arrived
D7                   C#7
the bad news has arrived
D7                   C#7
the bad news has arrived
A   B7     F#m
it's closing time
