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

so you cut all the tall trees down
you poisoned the sky and the sea
you've taken what's good from the ground
but you left precious little for me
you remember the flood and the fall
we remember the light on the hill
there should be enough for us all
but the dollar is driving us still
river runs red black rain falls dust in my hand
river runs red black rain falls on my bleedin land
so we came and conquered and found
riches of commons and kings
who strangled and wrestled the ground
but they never put back anything
now i'm trapped like a dog in a cage
wherever the truth is pursued
it must be the curse of the age
what's taken is never renewed
river runs red...
so this is how i could work it out. if any one has any
corrections, additions or whatever please add it to my tab or
send it to me.
