Fairport Convention – Genesis Hall (Guitar)

    Gm7        C               Dm
My father he rides with your sheriffs

      Gm7            Bb         C
And I know he would never mean harm

        F        Bb          C
But to see both sides of a quarrel

        Gm7                  Dm
Is to judge without hate or alarm

 F     Gm    Bb
Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow

     F             Gm7         Dm
And you don't have anywhere to go

     Gm7          C           Dm    
You take away homes from the homeless

     Gm7           Bb         C        
And leave them to die in the cold

     F         Bb              C
The gypsy who begged for your presents

         Gm7                           Dm
He will laugh in your face when you're old

 F     Gm    Bb
Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow

     F             Gm7         Dm
And you don't have anywhere to go

      Gm7          C             Dm
Well, one man he drinks up his whiskey

  Gm7        Bb           C  
Another he drinks up his wine

              F               Bb       C   
And they'll drink till their eyes are red with hate

     Gm7                  Dm
For those of a different kind

 F     Gm    Bb
Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow

     F             Gm7         Dm
And you don't have anywhere to go

          Gm7          C           Dm
When the rivers run thicker than trouble

         Gm7          Bb           C
I'll be there at your side in the flood

        F          Bb     C
It was all I could do to keep myself

      Gm7                Dm
From taking revenge of blood

 F     Gm    Bb
Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow

     F             Gm7         Dm
And you don't have anywhere to go

 F     Gm    Bb
Ohhh, ohhh, helpless and slow

     F             Gm7         Dm
And you don't have anywhere to go
