[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Come out, come out, no use in hiding. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Come now, come now, can you not see?
_ _ _ There's _ _ no place here, what would you expect?
_ _ _ Room _ _ _ _ _ for both, just room for me. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] So you lay your arms [D] down. _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Yes, I will call this home.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Away, away, you have been _ banished.
_ [Dm] _ [D] _ _
_ Your land is gone and given _ me. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] And here I will spread my [D] _ wings. _ _ _
_ _ [G] Yes, I will call this home.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] What's this you say?
You feel the right [G] to remain and stay.
And I will bury [D] you. _ _ _
Come on my _ dear. _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] What's this you say?
Your [D] father's spirit [G] still lives in this place.
Well, I will silence [D] you. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So miss your boat, it's leaving _ _ _ now.
And as _
_ _ [G] _ you go, I will spread my [Bm] [D] wings. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] Yes, I will call this home.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] I have no time to justify to [G] you.
Fool, you're blind.
Move aside [D] from me. _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] All I can say to you, my new [G] neighbors,
You must move on, or I will bury [D] you. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now as [G] I rest my feet by [D] this fire,
Those have [G] once warned you, but I [D] have retired them.
I can [G] breathe my own air and I can [D] sleep more soundly.
[Bm] Upon these poor souls, I will build [G] _ and call this home. _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I live with my justice.
I live with my greed and need.
I live with no mercy.
I live with my friends' defeat.
I live with my hatred.
I live with my jealousy.
I live with the notion that I don't need anyone but me.
Don't drink the water.
_ Don't drink the water.
There's blood in the water.
_ Don't drink the water.
_ _ Don't _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ drink the water.
Don't [Gm] drink the water.
[D] There's blood in the water.
Don't drink the water.
There's blood in the water. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
