                  Then angels came from heaven down
                C
                  See who would wear the crown
                C
                  Seal up your book, old John

                  John don't you write no more

          He wrote The Revelation - he was a writer
          He wrote The Revelation - he was a writer
          He wrote The Revelation - he was a writer

                  Then angels came from heaven down
                  See who would wear the crown
                  Seal up your book, old John
                  John don't you write no more
                            *Solo*  (verse & chorus, repeat)

          You write my name down, John - he was a writer
          You write my name down, John - he was a writer
          You write my name down, John - he was a writer

                  Then angels came from heaven down
                  See who would wear the crown
                  Seal up your book, old John
                C                         G
                  John don't you write no more...
