E5                      A5   F5 C5
So you cut all the tall trees down
     G5                        D5   B5
You poisened the sky and the sea
        E5                           A5     F5 C5
You've taken what's good from the ground
         G5                        D5   B5
But you left precious little for me


        E5                       A5   F5 C5
You remember the flood and the fall
       G5                      D5    B5
We remember the light on the hill
        E5                      A5  F5 C5
There should be enough for us all
         G5                     D5    G5 D5
But the dollar is driving us still


                A5
The river runs red, black rain falls
            G5
Dust in my hand
            F5
River runs red, black rain falls
G5                 D5
  On my bleeding land


       E5                       A5    F5 C5
So we came and conquered and found
 G5                     D5    B5
Riches of commons and kings
       E5                         A5    F5 C5
Who strangled and wrestled the ground
          G5                  D5    B5
But they never put back anything
          E5                      A5    F5 C5
Now I'm trapped like a dog in a cage
     G5                     D5     B5
Whereever the truth is pursued
    E5                        A5  F5 C5
It must be the curse of the age
        G5                 D5     G5 D5
What's taken is never renewed


            A5
River runs red...
            A5       F5 C5 G5 D5
River runs red...  land
F5 C5 G5 D5    F5 C5 G5 D5   F5 C5 G5 D5
Land       Land      Land
            A5
River runs red...
                A5
The river runs red...
