Orthodox Celts - Green Roses

         G                                                 C
At the crack of the dawn thunder and lightning crossed the way
    Am              Em                C                   D
The shadow of night waited to see the bright light of the day
  G                                     C
Nobody saw his bitter tears through the dark veil of rain
    Am             Em                 C              D
The river of blood under his feet run wild again and again

Refrain: (2x)
          G          C
The green roses will grow
      Am                   D
While green fields turn to red
     Em       C
Only memory remains
   Am           D
Of hero and his faith


G                                  C           
He just stood and he stared with a sword in his hand
Am                  Em                C              D
Under the bridge of rainbow's gold he fought for his land
    G                                C
The black crow stole his destiny and flew from the cross
Am           Em              C               D 
Flyin' high, goin' so far to take his soul away.

    Am              Em                C                   D
The shadow of night waited to see the bright light of the day
  G                                     C
Nobody saw his bitter tears through the dark veil of rain

The river of blood under his feet run wild again and again
