Scarlet Tide

Intro: C C! C! C x2


       C             F     C
When I recall his parting words
           C       F
Must I accept his fate
    G      C         F         G
Or take myself far from this place
              C         F       C
I thought I heard a black bell toll
          C        F
A little bird did sing
 G           C
Man has no choice
      F        G     C
When he wants every thing



       C       G               C
We'll rise above the scarlet tide
       C                         F
That trickles down through the mountain
       C            F     G       C
And separates the widow from the bride


            C        F     C
Man goes beyond his own decision
           C               F
Gets caught up in the mechanism
       C                   G
Of swindlers who act like kings
             C         F
And brokers who break everything
             C           F      C
The dark of night was swiftly fading
                     F
Close to the dawn of day
 F            C               G         C
Why would I want him just to lose him again
