Verse 1
C
G
C
I crossed the Rubicon
G
on the fourteenth day
Of the most dangerous
month of the year
At the worst time, at the worst place
That's all I seem to hear
C
I got up early
G
So I could greet the goddess of the dawn
D
I painted my wagon,
C
abandoned all hope
G
And I crossed the Rubicon
Verse 2
G
Well, the Rubicon is a red river
C
G
Goin' gently as she flows
Redder than your ruby lips
And the blood that flows from the rose
C
Three miles north of purgatory
G
One step from the great beyond
D
C
I prayed to the cross, I kissed the girls
G
And I crossed the Rubicon

In this world so badly bent
I cannot redeem the time
The time so idly spent

How long can it go on?

I embrace my love
Put down my hair
C
And I crossed the Rubicon

I lit the torch, I looked to the east

And I crossed the Rubicon
