Crossing The Rubicon

Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
[C]I c[G]ros[C]sed the Rubicon
[G]on the fourteenth day
Of the most dangerous
month of the year
At the worst time, at the worst place
That's all I seem to hear
[C]I got up early
So I could greet the goddess of [G]the dawn
[D]I painted my wagon,
abandoned all [C]hope
And I crossed the [G]Rubicon

[Verse 2]
[G]
Well, the Rubicon is a red river
Goin' gently as [C]she flows[G]
Redder than your ruby lips
And the blood that flows from the rose
[C]Three miles north of purgatory
One step from the great [G]beyond
[D]I prayed to the cross, I kissed the[C] girls
And I [G]crossed the Rubicon

[Verse 3]
[G]
What are these dark days I see?
In this world so badly [D]bent[G]
I cannot redeem the time
The time so idly spent
How much [C]longer can it last?
How long can it go [G]on?
[D]I embrace my love
Put down my hair
[C]And I crossed the Rubicon

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
I can [G]feel the bones beneath my skin
And they're tremblin' with rage
I'll make your wife [D]a widow
[G]You'll never see old age
[C]Show me one good man in sight
That the sun shines down [G]upon
[D]I pawned my watch, I paid my debts
[C]And I crossed the Rubicon

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][D]

[Verse 5]
Put my hide [G]up on a hill
[D]Where some [G]happiness I'll find
If I survive, then let me love
Let the hour be mine
[C]Take the high roa[G]d, take the[C] low
Take any one you're [G]on
[D]I poured the cup, I passed it a[C]long
And I crossed the Ru[G]bicon
[D][G]

[Verse 6]
Well, you defiled the most lovely flowers
In all her [C]womanhood
[G]Others can be tolerant
Others can be good
[C]I'll cut you up with a c[D]rooked kni[C]fe
Lord, and I'll miss you when
you're [G]gone[D][G][D]
I stood between heaven and [C]earth
And I crossed the Rubicon
[G]

[Verse 7]
You won't find any
happiness here
No happiness or joy
Go back to the gutter, try your luck
Find you some nice pretty boy
[C]Tell me how many men I need
And who can I count [G]upon
[D]I strapped my belt, I buttoned my [C]coat
And I crossed the [G]Rubicon

[Verse 8]
[G]
I feel the holy spirit inside
See the light that freedom gives
I believe it's in the reach [D]of
[G]Every man who lives
[C]Keep as far away as possible
It's darkest 'fore the dawn
[G](oh, Lord)
I turned the key, [D]I broke i[C]t off

[Interlude 3]
And I crossed the Rubicon
[G]

[Verse 9]
Mornin' baby, I used to look [G]my [D]mind
[G]I truly believe that you are
Couldn't be anybody else but you
Who's come with me this far
[C]The killing frost is on the ground
And the autumn leaves [G]are gone
[D]I lit the torch, I looked to the e[C]ast
And I crossed the [G]Rubicon

[Outro 1]
