[F] banners united over [G] the field, _ _ _ where [Eb] the good [F] shepherd greets the [G] desperate man, _ _ _ _ desperate [Bb] _ women [F]

In _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ the [Gm] cold valley moon, _ the [Bb] captain waits for the celebration, [F] _
[Gm] sending his thoughts _ _ _ to a _ [F] beloved maid, whose heavenly [Gm] face _ _ _ _ is [Bb] beyond _ communication, [F] the captain [Gm] is down, _ still believing that his [Cm] love will be true.
Her love will be [Bb] repaid, and he [F] shaves [Gm] her hair, _ she was torn [Bb] between Jupiter [F] and Apollo, a messenger [Gm] of Orion, _ _ _ _ on a _ black night [F] in Gale, [Dm] and I've seen her [Gm] on the stairs, _ _ _ oh, and [Bb] I can help her [F] follow, and follow [Gm] her down, that's the fountains where [Eb] they live, [F] [Bb] yeah, they live. _

Stumble to [Gm] my feet, _ [Bb] _ I'll roll past destruction [F] in the ditches, with [Gm] the stretching, _ still bending, _ [Eb] beneath the heart-shaped [Bb] [F] tattoos and [Gm] renegade priests, _ _ _ [Bb] and _ _ treacherous young witches, [Gm] were handing out the flowers [Bb] that I'd give [F] everything to [Bb] you.
The palace [Gm] of years, _ _ _ where [Bb] dark soldiers [F] are reflected, the endless [Gm] road, _ _ _ and no wailing [F] of [Bb] chimes, the [Gm] empty _ ruins of _ _ where her [Bb] memory [F] is projected, _ [Gm] where the angels' voices whisper into the [Eb] souls of [Bb] previous times.
