Maid Of The River chords

Maid Of The River

• Am

Am
She's the maid of the river
C
So beautifully plain
G
As fresh as the country
Am
That gave her her name
Am
As crisp as the snow
C
And as swift as the rain
G
She shone like the sun
Am
Before all of our games
Am
She shone like a jewel
C
But her price was not gold
G
She cried more than most
Am
When her story was told
Am
But her people were evil
C
Left her baron and cold
G
And her heart went to market
Am
Where her body was sold

Chorus

        Am        Am/C       C
I said hey hey won't you take me away
        G             
Because I can't see the point
       Am
In the dawn of the day
       Am                 C
When so many killers gonna take you away
       G                       Am
And leave little left except hatred
       E
She's the goddess of love
        Am
The goddess in green
        E
The goddess of all
      Am
That I've ever seen
        E
Goddess of hope
        Am
The goddess in brown
       E
The goddess of all

That you've burned to the ground
Chorus

(repeat chord sequence throughout )

There's all kind of hatred
Flows out of man's hands
There's the hatred that strangles
The throat of a man
But the worst of all hatred
Is that which is planned
Against what we have
In this goddess of land
Chorus
