It was the year
                          A5
The crows and the locusts came
      C5                  G5
The fields drained dry their rain
                   F5
The fields are bleeding

(intro) A5  A5  F5  C5  C5  G5

A5                          F5     C5
Daddy don't cry, it'll be al - right
     G5       A5
She put some water on the wound
                        F5         C5                         G5
And hums a little tune while the courage blood's on the ground
    F5     G5    F5
Pooling, poo - ling

A5                           F5      C5
  See the murder, and the swarm descend
 G5      A5
And the night is getting thick
                             F5       C5                   G5
The moon telling her tricks, she betray her every time

      F5
It was the age
                       A5
the foxes came for the fields
           C5                   G5
we were bleeding as we bowed to kneel
                             F5
and pray for mercy, pray for mercy

     A5
The rumble is low and the heat is high
       G5                                    F5
Got a feeling that there's rain out in the oil black sky
       A5
Gonna chase away the devil when the sun does rise
     E5 - E5 - E5 - E5     F5
Gonna...                 bleed the blood
     E5 - E5 - E5 - E5     F5
Gonna...                 bleed the blood

(refr?o 1 e 2)

     A5
She limps on up to the top of a mount
 G5                   F5
Looks at the faulty harness
          A5
Feels her sweat in the ground and the burn in her nose
          G5
And the knowing in her guts
              F5
Something's still gonna grow... She ain't leavin' til it does.

( A5  E5  A5  G5  F5 ) (2x)

A5             E5      A5
What can wash away my sin?
 G5                 F5
Nothing but the blood
A5               E5      A5
What can make me whole again?
 G5                 F5
Nothing but the blood
