AmShe's (x02210@1)the maid of the river
CSo (x32010@1)beautifully plain
GAs (320003@1)fresh as the country
AmThat (x02210@1)gave her her name
AmAs (x02210@1)crisp as the snow
CAnd (x32010@1)as swift as the rain
GShe (320003@1)shone like the sun
AmBefore (x02210@1)all of our games
AmShe (x02210@1)shone like a jewel
CBut (x32010@1)her price was not gold
GShe (320003@1)cried more than most
AmWhen (x02210@1)her story was told
AmBut (x02210@1)her people were evil
CLeft (x32010@1)her baron and cold
GAnd (320003@1)her heart went to market
AmWhere (x02210@1)her body was sold

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
