Verse:
Em A F C
So you cut all the tall trees down
G D B7
You poisoned the sky and the sea
Em A F C
You've taken what's good from the ground
G D B7
But you left precious little for me
Em A F C
You remember the flood and the fall
G D B7
We remember the light on the hill
Em A F C
There should be enough for us all
G D G D
But the dollar is driving us still
Chorus:
Am
The river runs red, black rain falls
G
Dust in my hand
F G
River runs red, black rain falls
D
On my bleeding land
Em A F C
So we came and conquered and found
G D B7
Riches of commons and kings
Em A F C
Who strangled and wrestled the ground
G D B7
But they never put back anything
Em A F C
Now I'm trapped like a dog in a cage
G D B7
Whereever the truth is pursued
Em A F C
It must be the curse of the age
G D G D
What's taken is never renewed
The last Chorus goes:
Am
The river runs red, black rain falls
G
Dust in my hand
F G
River runs red, black rain falls
F C G D
On my bleeding land
F C G D F C G D F C G D F C G D
land.... land land.... land
