Capo 2

E

A D A

When I recall his parting words

A D

Must I accept his fate

E A D E

Or take myself far from this place

A D A

I thought I heard a black bell toll

Asus2 D

A little bird did sing

E A

Man has no choice

D E A

When he wants every thing

A E D A

We'll rise above the scarlet tide

A Asus2 D F#m D

That trickles down through the mountain

Asus2 A Asus2 E A

And separates the widow from the bride

A D A

Man goes beyond his own decision

A Asus D

Gets caught up in the mechanism

E A D E

Of swindlers who act like kings

A Asus E

And brokers who break everything

A D A

The dark of night was swiftly fading

Asus4 D

Close to the dawn of day

E A E A

Why would I want him just to lose him again

A E D A

We'll rise above the scarlet tide

A Asus2 D F#m D

That trickles down through the mountain

Asus2 A Asus2 E A

And separates the widow from the bride
