[Intro]
Em Em G G
D D Am Am

[Verse 1]
Em G
Loud was a river when the river could talk
D Am
And heavy was the water when the water could walk
Em G
Mother remembers what her sons forgot
D Am
And never take without giving
Em G
Somewhere inside, you remember the tune
D Am
At the very first dawn you were singin' it too
Em G
Now the fields grow brittle for the harvest moon
D Am
And this time, she won't be forgiving
Em Em D D
(Ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]
Em G
Oh, devil man, what have you done?
D Am
Thе fire don't sing and the rain don't come
Em G
Torе the spirit from everyone
D Am
Now just look at you crying (Cryin')
Em G
Oh, devil man, what do you want?
D Am
The land bows down to a strange man's god
Em G
Burned the graves of everyone
D Am
Now just look at you cryin'

[Post-Chorus]
N.C. Em G D Am
Just look at you cryin' (Cryin')
Em G D Am
Just look at you cryin' (Cryin')

[Verse 2]
Em G
They came with the founder and unseen death
D Am
And our land shivered when you painted it red
Em G
Now the earth splits open where you drove them west
D Am
I hope you can't be forgiven
Em G
When the storms come wailing to the prisoner east
D Am
And the gods come flying from the burning trees
Em G
And no one listens when you get on your knees
D Am
This time you won't be forgiven
