The Shadow

Am

[Verse]
                             Dm
It's over now, the guns have flowed
              G      G7           
The nightmare flashed on a cradle 
C     F
road
              G         E7
As the guilty rain came down
Am                               
No child to hold through anxious 
Dm
fears
          G   G7            C      F
No gentle hand to catch the tears
       G               E7
That soak this ancient ground

[Verse]
    Am                          
The smile that breaks so gently, 
   Dm
belies a troubled head
         G                   
Like the voice that holds the 
 G7           C
secrets of a life you might have led

G                E7            
Eyes with pale indifference in 
Am            F
danger and in grace
        Dm                   
But the glance that knows the 
 G                    C
death-knell left its shadow on your 
face
       Am                         
In the deep, enduring darkness as 
Dm
your loyal friends go down
        G                        
Touched by the violent crown 'til 
       F        E      F
their hunter's hunted down

[Instrumental]
Am      Dm    G    C  F  G  E7

[Verse]
    Am                       Dm
The web is slowly woven, the endless
 dreamer shed
       G                   G7     
In the dawn, the curfew is broken 
       C
on the Sunday morning's dead
G            E7               Am
Centuries of thunder take the 
            F
castle in the flood
       Dm                G     
To the cold night air of London, 
             C
where your hands are bound in blood
Am                        Dm
Midwinter deepened as the parting 
turned inside
  G                                
A thousand times you cried, but the
 F      E     F
 shadow never died

[Verse]
     Am                      Dm
It's over now, the guns have flowed
              G      G7           
The nightmare flashed on a cradle 
C     F
road
              G         E7
As the guilty rain came down
Am                               
No child to hold through anxious 
Dm
fears
          G   G7            C      F
No gentle hand, no graceful years
        G           E7
Just bitter ancient ground
     Am
It's over now
