Seven Curses Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Old Riley, he's done a stallion
But they caught him and
they brought him back
And they laid [C]him down on
the [G]jailhouse ground
With an [Am]iron chain around his [C]neck
O [G]'Reilly's daughter got a message
That her father was going to have
She [C]rode by night and came by [G]morning
With [Am]gold and sil[A]ver in her [C]hand
When the [G]judge saw O 'Reilly's daughter
His old eyes deepened in his head
Saying, [C]God will never free your [G]father
The [Am]price, [A]my dear, [Am]is you will [C]stay
[G]I'm as good as dead, says Riley
It's only you that he displays
My [C]skin will surely fall, he [G]touches you at all
Get [Am]on your horse and ride a[C]way
Oh [G]father, you will surely die
If I don't take the chance to try
And [C]pay for the price,
[G]and not take your advice
For [Am]that reason I would have to
[C]stay[G][C][G]
[F][C][G]
Gower's shadow shook that evening,
and the night the hound dogged bay
And the [C]night the crowns
were [G]crawling,
and the [Am]night the price was [C]paid
The next [G]morning she had awoken,
to know that the judge had never spoken
She [C]saw the hanging branch a [G]-bending
She [Am]saw her father's body [C]broken
Seven [G]curses on the judge so cruel
That one doctor will not save him
That [C]two healers will not [G]heal him
And [Am]three [A]eyes will not [C]see him
And [G]four ears will not hear him
And five walls will not hide him
And [C]six diggers will not [G]bury him
And [Am]seven deaths will never [C]free [G]him
[G]You
