MAID OF THE RIVER / ZEITGEIST

Bm
She's the maid of the river
D
So beautiful plain
A
As fresh as the country
Bm
That gave her her name

As crips as the snow
D
And as swift as the rain
A
She shone like the sun
Bm
Before all of our games

She shone like a jewel
D
But her price was not gold
A
She cired more than most
Bm
When her story was told

But her people were evil
D
Left her baron and cold
A
And her heart went to market
Bm
Where her body was sold


Bm D
I said : 'Hey, hey won't you take me away
A
Cos I can't see the point
Bm
In the dawn of the day
D
So many killers gonna take you away
A Bm
They'll leave nothing left except hatred'


F#
She's the goddess of love
Bm
The goddess in green
F#
The goddess of all
Bm
That I've ever seen
F#
The goddess of hope
Bm
The goddess in brown
F#
The goddess of all

That you've burned to the ground



There's all kind of hatred

Flows out of man's hands

There's the hatred that strangles

The throat of a man

But the worst of all hatred

Is that which is planned

Against what we have

In this goddess of land
