The Riverbed
- Madrugada


Am

Am
Moon
       C            Em         Am
How it falls on the field down among us
Am
Rain
             C            Em         Am
Falls on the king and his men on the riverbed
Am
Now
       C          Em        Am
Now we meet after all these years


C         Em           Am
Do you my king, do you remember me?
C       Em            Am
Yeah, I see your face before me now
C                   G                        F
And I'm telling you tonight that I know we belong
            Am
Beyond this life
C                     Em                             Am
The war has taken its turn and it ain't ever turning back


I grew 
to be a man A man who grew to be a king
Got a job 
at the mill And when the war came I signed up for you
Every day, 
now I send a letter to the people back home


Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived
Me and myself, I got nothing to lose but this war
And I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong
And we must die
Well now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed


Drums 
roll And we must go We must go, the enemy is upon us
Rise 
from your knee And now, pull to the bridge


Oh, brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now
Go on, go on, on up from the riverbed
For I'm telling you the war that I fought it was wrong
And we must die
It doesn't matter much now anyway, tonight we unite


Dm
And when we're pushing through
                              Am
I turn around one last time
Dm
And through the fire and the rain
                              Am
I see the king's white flag
Em
The king lives on
But everyone
           Am
Everybody dies
