Withered

Cm               G
Withered be the flower
     G                    Cm
Long past it's prime and bloom

   Cm              G
Forgotten on the stony bed
     G               Eb Dm Cm
This silent hillside tomb...

              G
For coppered be the grip
G               Cm
Of this wooded land

  Cm         G
A crude cold gauntlet
G               Eb Dm
Hides the boney hand...

Cm              G
 The tears once warmed the ground
     G                Eb    Dm      Cm
Torn out of eyes that could cry no more

            G              G
Compassion for the wind to take
        Eb       Dm      Cm
Oh doth pity the bastard poor

          G          G
A life of misery and hate
       Eb       Dm       Cm
Upon a chance a twist of fate

           G                G
The poison from the goblet ran
         Eb            Dm
Down the throat of her drunken man...
