Special Death
View chords used in this chart
Dm A
A terrible mistake was made
Dm
The weight would break the backs
A
Of ten strong horses tried to save
Dm
The castle in the fray
A Dm
If you knew that I could take the pain
A
Inflicted at the battle
Dm
With faithful arrows you
A
Might get back in the saddle
Dm
But it's a special death you saved
A
For me, the brown-eyed daughter
Dm
Once you made it hotter
A
The thankless, holy praise
Is left alone
Dm
Why bother
A
To cast a stone in water?
Dm
La la la la la
