So, this is meant for ukulele, and I originally learned it on the uke, but it
should be the same chords for guitar, so here you go!
DWell I recall his parting words
Must I accept his fGate?
Or tAake myDself far fGrom this plAace
I thought I heDard a black bell toll
A little bird did sGing
Man hAas no chDoice
When Ghe wants eAverything D
[Chorus:]
We'll rDise abAove the scaGrlet tiDde
CThat trickles down thArough the mouGntain
And seGparatDes the widow frAom the bridDe
(same as first verse)
Man goes beyond his own decision
Gets caught up in the mechanism
Of swindlers who act like kings
And brokers who break everything
The dark of night was swiftly fading
Close to the dawn of the day
Why would I want him
Just to lose him again
[Chorus 2x]
