Red White And Black

Bm  A  G  A

[Verse 2]
         Bm     A       G       
Take the old man to the river's 
A
mercy
Bm            A          G       
Wearing his father's coat and woven 
  A
pedigree
Bm           A      G         A
Take his old friends from the gentry
Bm     A          G         A
To the river, the river is thirsty
         Bm       A      G       
Take his old girl to the river's 
A
mercy
Bm        A            G        
Wearing a heavy thread heirloom 
A
tapestry
Bm           A              
Take his old girl with him, his 
G    A
family tree
Bm     A          G        A
To the river, the river is thirsty

[Chorus]
Bm       D   A  Bm
Take his old blood
    D        A  Bm
His moon and sun
       A
To the river

[Verse 2]
        Bm        A      G       
And the white rows, like ribbons 
   A
of Lisbon
    Bm            A            G 
And roll with the field like a 
           A
flag that is waving
Continúa después del anuncio
        Bm         A     G       
And the black rows, they sowed 
        A
their own chain
      Bm            A             
Get a dollar with a calico for 
   G       A
their newborn baby
        Bm        A  G          A
And the bell sends a key to the lock
      Bm              A      
And a whistle in the wind that 
  G           A
carries the wings
        Bm         A    G         
And the guard dogs, that catch the 
 A
call
        Bm         A          G  
Put the key to freedom in the 
       A
hand of Redeemers
        Bm        A       G      
Now the iron cloth that's cut 
      A
from the loom
        Bm              A         
Bears a black and white stripe of 
  G            A
a cotton field rolling
        Bm        A    G     
And the dark minds and flame of 
     A
Redeemers
          Bm                A 
Put them right back in the iron 
            G            A
cloth and the flag is waving

[Chorus]
Bm       D   A  Bm
Take his old blood
    D        A  Bm
His moon and sun
       A
To the river

[Instrumental]
Bm  A  G  A

[Bridge]
Bm  A               G           
    Take him by the hand to the 
A
river
Bm  A               G      A
    Lead him by the hand into the 
water
Bm  A             G            
    Let the heavy thread drink up 
A
the river
Bm  A             G              
    Let the heavy thread drag him
 A           Bm
 down to the bottom
    A               G         
    Take him by the hand to the 
  A
river
Bm  A               G      A
    Lead him by the hand into the 
water
Bm  A             G            
    Let the heavy thread drink up 
A
the river
Bm  A             G              
    Let the heavy thread drag him 
 A
down

[Chorus]
Bm       D   A  Bm
Take his old blood
    D        A  Bm
His moon and sun
        D   A
You can see
         D   A   Bm
Take the old man
       G          A      Bm
To the river it's thirsty
