        Em                     A    F C
So you cut all the tall trees down
     G                        D   B7
You poisoned the sky and the sea
        Em                          A     F C
You've taken what's good from the ground
         G                        D   B7
But you left precious little for me

        Em                     A    F C
You remember the flood and the fall
       G                      D    B7
We remember the light on the hill
        Em                    A   F C
There should be enough for us all
         G                     D    G D
But the dollar is driving us still
Am The river runs red, black rain falls G Dust in my hand F G River runs red, black rain falls D On my bleeding land
Em A F C So we came and conquered and found G D B7 Riches of commons and kings Em A F C Who strangled and wrestled the ground G D B7 But they never put back anything Em A F C Now I'm trapped like a dog in a cage G D B7 Where ever the truth is pursued Em A F C It must be the curse of the age G D G D What's taken is never renewed The last Chorus goes: Am The river runs red, black rain falls G Dust in my hand F G River runs red, black rain falls F C G D On my bleeding land F C G D F C G D F C G D F C G D land.... land land.... land
