Chords

Well, the proper version of this is a bit hard, and doesn't sound great on guitar, so here it is in in they key of C instead of Bm. It appears on the Cold Mountain soundtrack and was written by Elvis Costello. Intro: C C! C! C x2
       C             F     C
When I recall his parting words 

           C       F
Must I accept his fate 

    G      C         F         G
Or take myself far from this place 

              C         F       C
I thought I heard a black bell toll 

          C        F
A little bird did sing 

 G           C 
Man has no choice 

      F        G     C
When he wants every thing 

       C       G               C
We'll rise above the scarlet tide 

       C                         F
That trickles down through the mountain 

       C            F     G       C
And separates the widow from the bride 

            C        F     C
Man goes beyond his own decision 

           C               F
Gets caught up in the mechanism 

       C                   G
Of swindlers who act like kings 

             C         F
And brokers who break everything 

             C           F      C
The dark of night was swiftly fading 

                     F
Close to the dawn of day 

 F            C               G         C
Why would I want him just to lose him again
Chorus x2 Outro C C! C! C x2 C! is a chord which I have no idea what to call it, but it just this. 032013
