G C
At the crack of the dawn thunder and lightning crossed the way
Am Em C D
The shadow of night waited to see the bright light of the day
G C
Nobody saw his bitter tears through the dark veil of rain
Am Em C D
The river of blood under his feet run wild again and again
G C
The green roses will grow
Am D
While green fields turn to red
Em C
Only memory remains
Am D
Of hero and his faith
G C
He just stood and he stared with a sword in his hand
Am Em C D
Under the bridge of rainbow's gold he fought for his land
G C
The black crow stole his destiny and flew from the cross
Am Em C D
Flyin' high, goin' so far to take his soul away.
