intro
Bm E
Bm E Was it you 'mid the fire and the ember? Bm E Were you there to bedevil and beguile? Bm E See, your face wasn't quite as I remember Bm E But I know that wicked shape to your smile
(banjo picking)
Bm E Bury me as it pleases you, lover Bm E At sea, or deep within the catacomb Bm E But these bones never rested while living Bm E So how can they stand to languish in repose?

Em G Bm He has thrown down the cavalry as gravel sinks Em G Bm and as the stone founders underneath the sundered sea Em G Bm of red and reed, The shadow of Hades is fading Em G Bm For he has cast down leviathan, the tyrant, and the horse and rider A Bm G ooooohh A Bm G Where is your rider? 2x A Bm G Bm G He will hold with all of his might the armies of night, A Bm G Bm G Still as boulders laid to the side 'til we pass by A Bm G Bm G He has hoisted out of the mire every child A Bm G So lift your voice with timbrel and lyre Bm G A Bm G "We will abide, we will abide, we will abide" A Bm G ooooh
