VERSE 1:
Well I recall - his parting words
must I accept - his fate?
Or take myself - far from this place
I thought I heard - a black bell toll
a little bird - did sing
Man has no choice - when he wants e-verything
CHORUS:
We’ll rise above - the scarlet tide
that trickles down thro-ough the mountain
And separates - the widow from - the bride
VERSE 2:
Man goes beyond - his own decision
Gets caught up in - the mechanism
Of swin-d-lers - who act like kings
And brokers who - break everything
The dark of night - was swiftly fading
Close to the dawn - of day
Why would I want him - just to lose him again
[REPEAT CHORUS TWICE]

Wow! Such an obscure Elvis Costello song and one he does on ukulele to boot! Thank you Marco!
