intro: keyboard - D - C# C - C#
main riff:
(play riff throughout the verses)
Somewhere in Africa, somewhere in Rome
People are sleeping awake in their homes
Waiting for shepherds to tend to their sheep
Their disappointments lay piled in a corner heap
chorus:
this is kind of a question and answer section, the bass and
keyboards play the riff... and then the guitar plays a riff.
bass root notes are provided in the brackets above.

A second co - ming will come in. A second co - ming will come in.
(It will come in!)
(main riff)
Turn on the sets and then wait for the show
Will he have long hair and what will he know?
Will he tell jokes or will he make us cry?
If we write to him will he send back a reply?
(chorus)
A second co-ming will come in
A second co-ming will come in
A second co-ming will come in
A second co-ming will come in
(it will come in!)
(main riff)
Like everybody I wait for the day
Like everybody I'll send him away
He may be ugly and have problem hair
Even speak funny and make all the people stare
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
Second coming...
(repeat verse riff until fade)
