[B] [A]
[E] Far off on these days, [A] all young men and [E] men who slay,
On a roadside [C#m] by a hill where flowers [B] grow, [E] So much hate for one so young,
Who [A] was right, that who [E] was wrong, Though a thousand [B] years may pass, we'll [E] never know.
Candles dripping blood, make place beside [A] his shoulders,
[B] Pearls revealed, like [E] teardrops on your [B] fingers, Friends [E] and comrades standing by,
In their grief [C#m] they wonder why, Michael [B] in their heart of need, [E] you had to go.
[B] The [A]
[E] evening twilight came, [A] gently fell the [E] autumn rain,
But you lay [C#m] still in silence [B] on the ground, [E] As we hung our heads in prayers,
[A] In our sorrow and [E] despair, we wondered, Was it [B] friend or foe, who shot [E] you down?
Candles dripping blood, make place beside [A] his shoulders,
[B] Pearls revealed, like teardrops on your [G#m] fingers, Friends [E] and comrades standing by,

[B] Thou [A]
[E] claimed that you held high, [A] when he called out [E] to the sky,
To end the [C#m] senseless killing and [B] the shame, [E] As thou passed to other hands,
And as [A] you carried through [E] the land, by some [B] not fit to even speak your [E]
name.
