 A5(x022xx)    D    G  C  
Hammer-on the C chords.
In the chorus the run leading up to the C chord goes (E3 A0 A2).
As he A5laid Spanish rDoses in her haGirC  G  
And then A5covered the crDown of thorns she wGearsC  G  
And the blCood from her lA5ips as she siDngs
Do it aCll for the glA5ory of thDee
And they carried her dCown, down, dGown
Down in the cCold, cold, grGound
By the river she uCsed to pGray
Forever now sChe will wGait for the kDing Cto coGmeC  G  
And the bA5oys who would cDrave her perfect skGinC  G  
She buA5rned herself, she thDought it would please hGimC  G  
And the irCon chain spA5iked around her waDist
And the poCison she usA5ed to hide her faDce
refrain:
And they carried her down, down, down
Down in the cold, cold, ground
By the river she used to pray
Forever now she will wait for the king to come
And she made a bed of broken glass and stone
Where she slept at night to prove her faith was strong
And when her broken body finally gave
There grew Spanish roses by her grave
And they carried her down, down, down
Down in the cold, cold, ground
By the river she used to pray
Forever now she will wait for the king to come

A5 D G C

(x022xx)

Hammer-on the C chords.

In the chorus the run leading up to the C chord goes (E3 A0 A2).

A5 D G C G

As he laid Spanish roses in her hair

A5 D G C G

And then covered the crown of thorns she wears

C A5 D

And the blood from her lips as she sings

C A5 D

Do it all for the glory of thee

C G

And they carried her down, down, down

C G

Down in the cold, cold, ground

C G

By the river she used to pray

C G D C G C G

Forever now she will wait for the king to come

A5 D G C G

And the boys who would crave her perfect skin

A5 D G C G

She burned herself, she thought it would please him

C A5 D

And the iron chain spiked around her waist

C A5 D

And the poison she used to hide her face

refrain:

And they carried her down, down, down

Down in the cold, cold, ground

By the river she used to pray

Forever now she will wait for the king to come

And she made a bed of broken glass and stone

Where she slept at night to prove her faith was strong

And when her broken body finally gave

There grew Spanish roses by her grave

And they carried her down, down, down

Down in the cold, cold, ground

By the river she used to pray

Forever now she will wait for the king to come
