Chords for Scarlet Tide / Down to the River to Pray - Angel City Chorale

_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Will I _ recall his parting _ words?
Must I accept his [F]
fate?
Or [B] take [C] myself _ [F] far from [G] his place?
I thought [C] I _ heard a black bell _ toll,
A little _ bird did [F]
sing,
[G] Man has [C] no choice [F] when he [G] wants _ [C] _ everything. _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ We'll [G] rise above _ the [C] stardust fire
That trickles down [A#] [C] through the [F] mountain
And [C] separate _ _ [F] the middle [G] from [G#] the _ rise
Man [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ goes beyond _ [F#] his own [C#] _ decisions
Gets caught up _ in the _
[F#] mechanisms
_ [G#] Of [C#] swindlers _ _ [F#] who act [G#] like _ kings
And [C#] robbers who break _ [G#]
everything.
The dark [C#] of night _ [F#] was swiftly [C#] fading
_ [F#] Close to [C#] the dawn [F#] of day
[G#] Why [C#] would I want him?
Just to [F#] [C#] lose him _ _ again.
_ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ We'll [G#] rise above _ the [C#] scarlet tide
That trickles down [B]
through [C#] _ [F#] the mountain
_ [G#] And separates [C#] _ _ _ the middle [G#]
from [C#] the _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _
_ rise
We'll [G#] rise above _ the [C#] scarlet tide
That trickles [B] down through [C#] _ [F#] the mountain
_ [Fm] _ _ [C#] _ _
And separates [F#] the middle [G#] [C#] from _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
