  First verse with Riff 1:
  
  C5                               F5
      We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
  
             Bb5             F5     C5         C7 C5
      As the day begs the night for mercy love
  
  C5                                   F5
      The sun's so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
  
      Bb5         F5           C5            C7 C5
      carved into stone on the face of earth
  
  C5                          F5
      The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
  
                 Bb5    F5           C5
      We see the sun go down in your eyes
  
  
  Chorus with Riff 2:
  
                   Bb   F         C5
      You run like river in like a sea
                     Bb   F              C5
      you run like a river runs to the sea
  
  
  Second verse same as first verse:
      And in the world a heart of darkness, a firezone
      Where poets speak their hearts, then bleed for it
      Jara sang, his song a weapon, in the hands of love
      You know his blood still cries from the ground
  
  
  Chorus as before.
  
  Cello Solo.
  
  Now play synth chords (C C F F Bb5 F/C C C)
  
  Third verse with synth chords:
  
  C                              F    
      I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
  
            Bb5                  F/C          C
      while bullets rape the night of the merciful
  
                                   F    
      I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
  
              Bb5                F/C      C      
      and the moon has turned red over one tree hill 
  
  
  Continue to play Riff 2 to end.
  
  Distorted guitar kicks in towards end.
  
  Outro: (With synth chords)
  
      C        F/C    Bb5       F/C
      Oh great ocean, old great sea
  
      C          F      Bb5 F/C    C
      run to the ocean, run to the sea.

   C                       F
  We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
          Bb            F         C
  As the day begs the night for mercy
  Your sun's so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
  Carved into stone on the face of earth
  The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
  We see the sun go down in your eyes
  
                Bb F         C
  You ran like river to the sea
          Bb F         C
  Like a river to the sea
  
  And in our world a heart of darkness, a firezone
  Where poets speak their hearts, then bleed for it
  Jara sang, his song a weapon, in the hands of love
  You know his blood still cries from the ground
  
  It runs like a river to the sea, like a river to the sea
  
  I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
  While bullets rape the night of the merciful
  I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
  And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill
  
  We run like a river to the sea, like a river to the sea
