The Scarlet TideCifra de Cavaquinho

  
  
D 
  
            G            C  
Well I recall his parting words  
           G7            C  
Must I accept his fate  
     D          G         C             D 
Or take myself far from this place  
                  G          C             G 
I thought I heard a black bell toll  
            G7        C  
A little bird did sing  
       D          G  
Man has no choice  
          C            D       G        C    G 
When he wants every thing  
  
  
               D             C         G 
We'll rise above the scarlet tide  
                     G7                       C 
That trickles down through the mountain  
        D       G          C        D            G 
And separates the widow from the bride  
  
  
  
Man goes beyond his own decision  
     
Gets caught up in the mechanism  
   
Of swindlers who act like kings  

And brokers who break everything  


               
 The dark of night was swiftly fading  
            
Close to the dawn of day  
    
Why would I want him just to lose him again  


 D             C         G 
We'll rise above the scarlet tide  
                     G7                       C 
That trickles down through the mountain  
        D       G          C        D            G 
And separates the widow from the bride
