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