               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
                       Am                                                               G
