The Riverbed
- Madrugada


[Am]

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


[C]Do you my [Em]king, do you [Am]remember me?
[C]Yeah, I [Em]see your face [Am]before me now
[C]And I'm telling you [G]tonight that I know we be[F]long
Beyond this [Am]life
[C]The war has taken its [Em]turn and it ain't ever turning [Am]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
I turn around one last time[Am]
[Dm]And through the fire and the rain
I see the king's white flag[Am]
[Em]The king lives on
But everyone
Everybody d[Am]ies
