[Intro]
Dm
[Verse]
Under the bDmridge, down by the rFiver
Laid Bbup in the Lions PDmark
I got the Dmcar and drove to Fput him Gmdown
I'll be gone in the Dmmorning
[Verse 2]
Sirens Bbwent on the wFynyard
I hear the dBbogs and sergeant's Dmvoice
The Bbfog lifts on the bFloody autumn lBbeaves
He Gmmade his cDmhoice
[Chorus]
The air is cBblear, it's been rFaining
SalBbvation is hDmere
'Let the bBblood of the hFoly Gmone
Wash aBbway your fDmears
Bb Dm Bb Dm
[Verse 3]
Luke fBblung me something in a SaFchet
Said it'll be rBbough, I don't know what to Dmsay
Every sBblave had to suFrrender hGmimself
Is that a gGmame you're wiBblling to pDmlay
[Verse 4]
I said I Bbjust killed Father FDavid
Put him Bbdown with my own two hDmands
He Bbgot what was cFoming to Gmhim
All the bGmoys will unDmderstand
[Verse 5]
I'm gonna Bbrun to the Fmountains
KoscBbiuszko or BDmurrinjuck
Let 'em Bbcome if they cFatch up to Gmme
I will Gmdie in the pBblace I Dmlove
[Chorus 2]
The air is cBblear, it's been rFaining
SaBblvation is hDmere
Let the Bbblood of the hFoly Gmone
WGmash aBbway your feDmars
[Chorus 3]
The air is Bbclear, it's been Fraining
SaBblvation is hDmere
Let the Bbblood of the hFoly Gmone
WGmash aBbway your feDmars
[Outro]
