Levellers – Maid Of The River (Guitar)

          Am
She's the maid of the river

   C
So beautifully plain

   G
As fresh as the country

     Am
That gave her her name

   Am
As crisp as the snow

       C
And as swift as the rain

    G
She shone like the sun

       Am
Before all of our games

    Am
She shone like a jewel

        C
But her price was not gold

    G
She cried more than most

         Am
When her story was told

        Am
But her people were evil

         C
Left her barren and cold

        G
And her heart went to market

          Am
Where her body was sold

       Am             Am/B C
I said hey, hey won't you  take me away

          G
Because I can't see the point

       Am
In the dawn of the day

     Am                    C
When so many killers gonna take you away

    G                        Am
And leave little left except hatred

          E
She's the goddess of love

    Am
The goddess in green

    E
The goddess of all

     Am
That I've ever seen

    E
The goddess of hope

    Am
The goddess in brown

    E
The goddess of all

       Am             Am/B C
I said hey, hey won't you  take me away

          G
Because I can't see the point

       Am
In the dawn of the day

     Am                    C
When so many killers gonna take you away

    G                        Am
And leave little left except hatred

        Am
There's all kinds of hatred

      C
Flows out of man's hands

            G
There's the hatred that strangles

    Am
The throat of a man

        Am
But the worst of all hatred

   C
Is that which is planned

 G
Against what we have

        Am
In this goddess of land

       Am             Am/B C
I said hey, hey won't you  take me away

          G
Because I can't see the point

       Am
In the dawn of the day

     Am                    C
When so many killers gonna take you away

    G                        Am
And leave little left except hatred
