        e                      a   F C
So you cut all the tall trees down
     G                        D   H
You poisened the sky and the sea
        e                           a     F C
You've taken what's good from the ground
         G                        D   H
But you left precious little for me


        e                       a   F C
You remember the flood and the fall
       G                      D    H
We remember the light on the hill
        e                      a  F C
There should be enough for us all
         G                     D    G D
But the dollar is driving us still

                a
The river runs red, black rain falls
            G
Dust in my hand
            F
River runs red, black rain falls
G                 D
  On my bleeding land


       e                       a    F C
So we came and conquered and found
 G                     D    H
Riches of commons and kings
       e                         a    F C
Who strangled and wrestled the ground
          G                  D    H
But they never put back anything
          e                      a    F C
Now I'm trapped like a dog in a cage
     G                     D     H
Whereever the truth is pursued
    e                        a  F C
It must be the curse of the age
        G                 D     G D
What's taken is never renewed


            a
River runs red...
            a       F C G D
River runs red...  land
F C G D    F C G D   F C G D
Land       Land      Land
            a
River runs red...
                a
The river runs red...





That's it.
Take care.
