The Shadow by Mary Black
The Shadow
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Dm
It''''s over now, the guns have flowed
G G7 C F
The nightmare flashed on a cradle road
G E7
As the guilty rain came down
Am Dm
No child to hold through anxious fears
G G7 C F
No gentle hand to catch the tears
G E7
That soak this ancient ground
[Verse]
Am Dm
The smile that breaks so gently, belies a troubled head
G G7 C
Like the voice that holds the secrets of a life you might have led
G E7 Am F
Eyes with pale indifference in danger and in grace
Dm G C
But the glance that knows the death-knell left its shadow on your face
Am Dm
In the deep, enduring darkness as your loyal friends go down
G F E F
Touched by the violent crown ''''til their hunter''''s hunted down
[Instrumental]
Am Dm G C F G E7
[Verse]
Am Dm
The web is slowly woven, the endless dreamer shed
G G7 C
In the dawn, the curfew is broken on the Sunday morning''''s dead
G E7 Am F
Centuries of thunder take the castle in the flood
Dm G C
To the cold night air of London, where your hands are bound in blood
Am Dm
Midwinter deepened as the parting turned inside
G F E F
A thousand times you cried, but the shadow never died
[Verse]
Am Dm
It''''s over now, the guns have flowed
G G7 C F
The nightmare flashed on a cradle road
G E7
As the guilty rain came down
Am Dm
No child to hold through anxious fears
G G7 C F
No gentle hand, no graceful years
G E7
Just bitter ancient ground
Am
It''''s over now
