One Tree Hill

C                         F
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
        Bb           F         C
As the day begs the night for mercy
 C   F
Your sun's so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
 Bb           F           C
Carved into stone on the face of earth
C                        F
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
           Bb      F       C
We see the sun go down in your eyes
 
                Bb   F       C
  You ran like river to the sea
          Bb   F       C
  Like a river to the sea
 
C                            F
And in our world a heart of darkness, a firezone
       Bb                F            C
Where poets speak their hearts, then bleed for it, yeah
 C                     F
Jara sang, his song a weapon, in the hands of love
     Bb                   F              C
You know his blood still cries from the ground
 
                  Bb   F       C
  It runs like a river to the sea,
          Bb   F       C
  like a river to the sea
 
C                           F
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
      Bb                F            C
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
 C                           F
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
         Bb              F       C
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill
 
                 Bb   F       C
  We run like a river to the sea,
          Bb   F       C
  like a river to the sea
 
  Bb   F       C
  We run like a river to the sea,
          Bb   F       C
  like a river to the sea
