Capo: 2nd fret
[Intro]
| Am | C | G | Am | x2
[Verse]
Am
She's the maid of the river
C
So beautifully plain
G
As fresh as the country
Am
That gave her her name
Am
As crisp as the snow
C
And as swift as the rain
G
She shone like the sun
Am
Before all of our games
Am
She shone like a jewel
C
But her price was not gold
G
She cried more than most
Am
When her story was told
Am
But her people were evil
C
Left her baron and cold
G
And her heart went to market
Am
Where her body was sold
[Chorus]
Am Am/B C
I said hey, hey won't you take me away
G
Because I can't see the point
Am
In the dawn of the day
Am C
When so many killers gonna take you away
G Am
And leave little left except hatred
[Interlude]
| Am | C | G | Am | x2
[Bridge]
E
She's the goddess of love
Am
The goddess in green
E
The goddess of all
Am
That I've ever seen
E
Goddess of hope
Am
The goddess in brown
E
The goddess of all
That you've burned to the ground
[Chorus]
Am Am/B C
I said hey, hey won't you take me away
G
Because I can't see the point
Am
In the dawn of the day
Am C
When so many killers gonna take you away
G Am
And leave little left except hatred
(repeat chord sequence throughout)
Am
There's all kind of hatred
C
Flows out of man's hands
G
There's the hatred that strangles
Am
The throat of a man
Am
But the worst of all hatred
C
Is that which is planned
G
Against what we have
Am
In this goddess of land
[Chorus]
Am Am/B C
I said hey, hey won't you take me away
G
Because I can't see the point
Am
In the dawn of the day
Am C
When so many killers gonna take you away
G Am
And leave little left except hatred
