The Ballad Of The Red Flame Lily

Capo on 3 Intro: A Em D Am On this day all the trees in Rhodesia are aflame As the eyes of the griever Em D With flowers of aching replete Am And my mind's overflowing with vengeance For to pine is not an occupation but a sentence Em D And in time we will all be faking retreat Am Have you got rid of it yet? This faith corroded with neglect Em D Can we ever hide the hurt? Am At least at night the harvest sun's yoke Is rising like rebel smoke Em D Beyond the oceans in swirls Am And it will shame us now C G And it will shame us still Am And it will shame us now C G And it will shame us still Am for 4 beats Am What a hollow promise from hollow men Em D What a shallow grave for shallow men Am You're the bull that paws the earth The leopard that teaches to run Em D You're the crocodile that eats the sun Am So we walk on through and beyond Em D The failures of men Am And we know there's a void at the center Em D of everything Am And it will shame us now C G And it will shame us still Am And it will shame us now C G And it will shame us still play that last part again, but peppered with the following lyrics and play until end It was wrong to come here I was wrong to come here
