[Intro]
G G/F C D
G G/F C D
 
[Verse]
G G/F C D
There's a legend of a lady on the mountain
G G/F C D
Who lives alone beyond the mecca plain
G G/F C D
And with her hands, she makes it through the winter
C A D
She never goes against the grain
 
G G/F C D
To be someone is to be someone alone
G G/F C D
To be someone is known as solitude
G G/F C D
To learn to sing below the surface
C A D
You must adjust your altitude
 
[Chorus]
C D G
Break the news, Pepote Rouge is coming to town
C D G
We stand accused, Pepote Rouge, of bein' hellbound
C D G F#/G E
She had a vision, and now she holds the key
C A D
You don't know what you want, 'til you find out what you need.
 
[Interlude]
G G G G
 
[Verse]
G G/F C D
I was stranded on the damn coast when a lady
G G/F C D
Called to me in a voice so soft and low
G G/F C D
Her words resounded like a fountain of truth
C A D
And then she faded like a rainbow
 
G G/F C D
Her golden spaceship with the mother of the earth
G G/F C D
Carved in stone, the queen of avatars
G G/F C D
Where seventy children were given birth
C A D
She then returned back to the stars
 
[Chorus]
C D G
Break the news, Pepote Rouge is coming to town
C D G
We stand accused, Pepote Rouge, of bein' hellbound
C D G F#/G E
She can help us find our way and get across
C A D
You don't know what you gained 'til you find out what you lost.
 
[Interlude]
G G G G
 
[Verse]
G G/F C D
Pepote Rouge come down from the mountain
G G/F C D
And lead our people into the light of day
G G/F C D
For they are lost and know not where they're goin'
C A D
And all their leaders are cast in clay
 
G G/F C D
Now disbelief and mass confusion
G G/F C D
Spreading wild across the land
G G/F C D
You can call it love or call it wisdom
C A D
To be not savin' a drowning man.
 
[Chorus]
C D G
Break the news, Pepote Rouge is coming to town
C D G
We stand accused, Pepote Rouge, of bein' hellbound
C D G F#/G E
She can show us just where we went wrong
C A D
You don't know where you're goin' 'til you find where you belong.
