Orthodox Celts - Green Roses

orthodox celts – green roses

G C
at the crack of the dawn thunder and lightning crossed the way
Am Em C D
the shadow of night waited to see the bright light of the day
G C
nobody saw his bitter tears through the dark veil of rain
Am Em C D
the river of blood under his feet run wild again and again

refrain : ( 2x )
G C
the green roses will grow
Am D
while green fields turn to red
Em C
only memory remains
Am D
of hero and his faith

G C
he just stood and he stared with a sword in his hand
Am Em C D
under the bridge of rainbow’s gold he fought for his land
G C
the black crow stole his destiny and flew from the cross
Am Em C D
flyin’ high , goin’ so far to take his soul away .
