The Ballad of the Red Flame Lily Rome
Capo on 3
Intro:
[A] [Em] [D]
On this [Am]day all the trees in Rhodesia are aflame
As the eyes of the griever
Wit[Em]h flowers of aching re[D]plete
And my [Am]mind's overflowing with vengeance
For to pine is not an occupation but a sentence
And i[Em]n time we will all be faking re[D]treat
Have you[Am] got rid of it yet?
This faith corroded with neglect
[Em] Can we ever hide the [D]hurt?
At least a[Am]t night the harvest sun's yoke
Is rising like rebel smoke
[Em] Beyond the oceans in [D]swirls
And it will [Am]shame us now
And it will [C]shame us [G]still
And it will [Am]shame us now
And it will [C]shame us [G]still
Am (for 4 beats)
What a ho[Am]llow promise from hollow men
What a shall[Em]ow grave for shallow [D]men
You're the bull that [Am]paws the earth
The leopard that teaches to run
You're the [Em]crocodile that eats the sun[D]
So we w[Am]alk on through and beyond
[Em] The failures of [D]men
And we [Am]know there's a void at the center
[Em] of every[D]thing
And it will [Am]shame us now
And it will [C]shame us [G]still
And it will [Am]shame us now
And it will [C]shame us [G]still
