Bad Moon Rising

Lyrics: John Fogerty
Music: John Fogerty

John Fogerty sang this with the Dead on 3 November 1991 at the memorial concert for Bill Graham.

Also played on 27 May 1989 with Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir, billed as "John Fogerty and Friends".

I see a bad moon rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today

Chorus
Don't go out tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

[chorus]

Hope you got your things together
Hope you're quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

[chorus]
