The Band – The Saga Of Pepote Rouge (Guitar)

G         G/F         C           D
There's a legend of a lady on the mountain

G          G/F    C              D
Who lives alone beyond the mecca plain

G            G/F        C                    D
And with her hands, she makes it through the winter

C               A          D
She never goes against the grain

G        G/F           C       D
To be someone is to be someone alone

G         G/F    C            D
To be someone is known as solitude

G           G/F    C       D
To learn to sing below the surface

C                A       D
You must adjust your altitude

C         D            G
Break the news, Pepote Rouge is coming to town

C          D             G
We stand accused, Pepote Rouge, of bein' hellbound

C         D           G       F#/G      E
She had a vision, and now she holds the key

C                                      A                 D
You don't know what you want, 'til you find out what you need.

G         G/F         C                 D
I was stranded on the damn coast when a lady

G         G/F     C                 D
Called to me in a voice so soft and low

G         G/F              C           D
Her words resounded like a fountain of truth

C                  A        D
And then she faded like a rainbow

G          G/F                C             D
Her golden spaceship with the mother of the earth

G         G/F        C           D
Carved in stone, the queen of avatars

G             G/F        C          D
Where seventy children   were given birth

C                A            D
She then returned back to the stars

C         D            G
Break the news, Pepote Rouge is coming to town

C          D             G
We stand accused, Pepote Rouge, of bein' hellbound

C         D          G         F#/G  E
She can help us find our way and get across

C                                       A                 D
You don't know what you gained 'til you find out what you lost.

G      G/F        C             D
Pepote Rouge come down from the mountain

G            G/F    C                 D
And lead our people into the light of day

G         G/F          C                     D
For they are lost and know not where they're goin'

C                         A       D
And all their leaders are cast in clay

G        G/F   C         D
Now disbelief   and mass confusion

G          G/F   C          D
Spreading wild    across the land

G               G/F      C          D
You can call it love     or call it wisdom

C                   A       D
To be not savin' a drowning man.

C         D            G
Break the news, Pepote Rouge is coming to town

C          D             G
We stand accused, Pepote Rouge, of bein' hellbound

C         D          G      F#/G    E
She can show us just where we went  wrong

C                                          A              D
You don't know where you're goin' 'til you find where you belong.
