[Dm] I can feel it c[C/D]oming in the air to - [Bb/D]night, oh, [C/D]Lord,
[Dm] And I've been waiting for this m[C/D]oment for all my [Bb/D]life, oh, [C/D]Lord,
Dm C/D Bb/D C/D Dm(type2)
Can you feel it coming in the air to - night? Oh, Lord, oh, Lord!
Well, if [Dm]you told me you were drowning, I w[Am/D]ould not lend a hand,
I've [Bb/D]seen your face before, my friend, but I don't [F/D]know if you know who I am,
Well,[Dm] I was there, and I saw what you did, [Am/D]saw it with my own two eyes,
So you can [Bb/D]wipe off that grin, I know where you've been, it's [F/D]all been a pack of lies!
[Dm] And I can feel it c[C/D]oming in the air to - [Bb/D]night, oh, [C/D]Lord,
[Dm] Well, I've been waiting for this m[C/D]oment for all my [Bb/D]life, oh, [C/D]Lord,
[Dm] I can feel it co[C/D]ming in the air to - n[Bb/D]ight, oh, L[C/D]ord,
Dm C/D Bb/D C/D Dm(type2)
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, Lord, oh, Lord!
Well, I re - [Dm]mem - ber... I remember, don't worry! [Am/D] How could I ever forget?
^ ^
It's the [Bb/D]first time, the last time, we e[F/D]ver met,
But--- [Dm]I know the reason why... you keep this silence up, [Am/D] ...no, you don't fool me,
Well, the [Bb/D]hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows, it's no st[F/D]ranger to you and me!
Dm(type3)

You could use any combination of these alternative chord shapes,
or stick to one set throughout. For variety, I like to use the open 4th string as the drone
for the earlier parts of the song, saving the bottom D until the drum break
and final choruses, hitting the bass note first, then strumming the rest of the chord,
but avoiding the 5th string on the C and Bb chords.
