e a F C

So you cut all the tall trees down

G D H

You poisened the sky and the sea

e a F C

You've taken what's good from the ground

G D H

But you left precious little for me

e a F C

You remember the flood and the fall

G D H

We remember the light on the hill

e a F C

There should be enough for us all

G D G D

But the dollar is driving us still

a

The river runs red, black rain falls

G

Dust in my hand

F

River runs red, black rain falls

G D

On my bleeding land

e a F C

So we came and conquered and found

G D H

Riches of commons and kings

e a F C

Who strangled and wrestled the ground

G D H

But they never put back anything

e a F C

Now I'm trapped like a dog in a cage

G D H

Whereever the truth is pursued

e a F C

It must be the curse of the age

G D G D

What's taken is never renewed

a

River runs red...

a F C G D

River runs red... land

F C G D F C G D F C G D

Land Land Land

a

River runs red...

a

The river runs red...

That's it.

Take care.

Kai.
