Csus2

Verse 1
G 
I come
from the walnut grove
D 
by the Green River Gorge
G 
Em 
Where the blue ridge of Caroline
Csus2 
rises to the north
G 
There the winter sun,
D 
it paints her petticoated clouds
Em 
Like the skirts of girls dancin' wheels
Csus2 
to the fiddlers in the town
G 
All the colors God has made
D 
come pouring radiant through
Em 
G 
Em 
Fall upon the coming of the night
Csus2 
G 
D 
like a twilight tattoo
G 
Now I don't live for much,
D 
just my babies and my wife
Em 
I'd fight with this here country
Csus2 
if they came threatenin' our lives
G 
So when I joined up
with the local guard
D 
to wear the weekend green
Em 
I never dreamed that they would send me
Csus2 
to some place I'd never seen
G 
Now I'm halfway across the world
D 
in their godforsaken land
Em 
And the fires of hell they burn
Csus2 
D 
G 
D 
upon these timeless desert sands
G 
The children we've seen today,
D 
they hid my daughter's eyes
Em 
The women in the ashes
Csus2 
seem to be my mother and my wife
G 
These men I call my enemies,
D 
would we be brothers if we could?
Em 
And put flowers on the bayonet,
Csus2 
put the gardens  filled with blood
G 
Hope the men who put us here
D 
will someday taste the truth
Em 
When they drag them
down the marble stairs
Csus2 
of the Devil's  Sanctuary
G 
D 
G 
I come from the walnut grove
D 
by the Green River Gorge
Em 
Where the Blue Ridge and Caroline
Csus2 
rises to the north
G 
There the winter sun,
D 
it paints the petticoated clouds
Em 
Like the skirts of girls,
dancing reels
Csus2 
to the fiddlers in town
G 
And all the colors God has made
D 
come pouring radiant through
Em 
And fall upon the coming of the night
