Start Jamming...
[C] [Gm] [C]
[G] I crossed the Rubicon on the 14th day of the most dangerous month of the year
at the worst time at the worst place.
That's all I seemed to hear.
[Cm] I got up [G] early so [C] I could
greet the goddess of [G] the dawn.
[D] I painted my wagon abandoned all [C] hope and I crossed the Rubicon.
[G]
Well the Rubicon is a red river going gently as she flows.
Redder than your ruby lips
and the blood that flows from the rose.
[Cm] Three miles north of [C] Purgatory one step from the [G] great beyond.
[D] I prayed to the cross I kissed the [G] girls [C] and I [Gm] crossed the Rubicon.
[G]
What are these dark days I see in this world so badly bad?
How can I redeem the time,
a time so ironic fast?
How much longer can [C] it last?
How long can it go on?
[D] I embrace my love
put down my [C] head and I cross the Rubicon.
[G]
I can feel the bones beneath my skin and they're
trembling with rage.
I'll make your wife a widow you'll never see old age.
[Cm] Show me one [C] good man in
sight that the sun shines down [G] upon.
[D] I pawned my watch I paid my [C] debts and I crossed the Rubicon.
[G] [D] Put [G] my heart up on a hill where some happiness I'll find.
If I survive then let me love
let the hour be mine.
[C] Take the high road take a low take an anyone [G] you're on.
[Gm] [G]
[D] I poured the cup
I passed it along [C] and I crossed the Rubicon.
[G] Well you defiled the rose lovely flower
in our little womanhood.
Others can't be tolerant others can't be good.
I'll cut you up [C] with a
crooked knife lord and I'll miss you when you're [Gm] gone.
[G]
[D] I stood between heaven and earth [C] and I
crossed the [G] Rubicon.
You won't find any happiness here no happiness or joy.
Go back to the gutter
try your luck find you some nice pretty boy.
[Gm]
[Cm] Tell me how many [C] men I need and who can I count it [G] on.
[D] I'll strap my belt I'll button my [C] coat and I cross the Rubicon.
[G]
I feel the holy spirit inside
see the light that freedom gives.
I believe it's in the reach of every man who lives.
Keep as far away as possible [C] as dark as for the [G] dawn.
[Gm] I turned [D] the key and broke it off [C] and I crossed the Rubicon.
[G]
Mornin' baby I used to let my mind I truly believe that you are.
Could it be anybody else but you who's come with me in his fire.
[C] The killing frost is on the ground
and how the leaves [G] are gone.
[D] I lit the torch I [E] looked to the east [C] and I crossed the [G] Rubicon.
[C] [Gm]
[G]
[D] [C]
[G] I miss you.
