C x16
[Verse 1]
Cm G
Withered be the flower
G Cm
Long past it's prime and bloom
Cm G
Forgotten on the stony bed
G Eb Dm Cm
This silent hillside tomb...
G
For coppered be the grip
G Cm
Of this wooded land
Cm G
A crude cold gauntlet
G Eb Dm
Hides the boney hand...
[Riff]
C x8
[Verse 2]
Cm G
The tears once warmed the ground
G Eb Dm Cm
Torn out of eyes that could cry no more
G G
Compassion for the wind to take
Eb Dm Cm
Oh doth pity the bastard poor
G G
A life of misery and hate
Eb Dm Cm
Upon a chance a twist of fate
G G
The poison from the goblet ran
Eb Dm
Down the throat of her drunken man...
