[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]The door it opened [F]slowly
[Am]My father he came in
[F]I was nin[G]e yea[Am]rs old[E]
And he stood [Am]so tall above m[F]e[Am]
Blue eyes they were shining
[F]And[G] his voice was very c[E]old

[Verse 2]
[C]He said, "I've had a vision
And you know I'm strong and holy
I must [D]do what [A]I've been [B]told"
So [F]he started up the [Bb]mountain
I was [F]running, he was [Bb]walking
And his [F]axe [G]was made of gol[A]d

[Interlude 1]
[A][Am]

[Verse 3]
Well, the [Am]trees they got much [F]smaller
[Am]The lake, a lady's mirror
[F]We [G]stopped to drink som[E]e wine
Then he [Am]threw the bottle over
[F]Bro[Am]ke a minute later[F]
[G]And he put his hand on min[E]e

[Verse 4]
[C]Thought I saw an eagle
But it might have been a vulture
I [D]never [A]could decide
[B]Then my fat[F]her built an altar[Bb]
He looked [F]once behind [Bb]his shoulder
[F]He knew I wou[G]ld not hid[A]e

[Interlude 2]
[A][Am]

[Verse 5]
[Am]You who build these al[F]tars now
To sac[Am]rifice these [F]children
You must not [G]do it [Am]anymore[E]
[Am]A scheme is not a vis[F]ion
And you [Am]never have been [F]tempted
By a [G]demon or a God
[E]

[Verse 6]
[C]You who stand above them now
Your hatchets blunt and bloody
You [D]were not [A]there be[B]fore
When I [F]lay upon a moun[Bb]tain
And my [F]father's hand was [Bb]trembling
With the [F]beauty [G]of the word

[Interlude 3]
[A][Am]

[Verse 7]
And [Am]if you call me brother n[F]ow
[Am]Forgive me if I inquire
[F]"Just accor[G]ding to who[F]se pla[E]n?"
[Am]When it all comes down[F] to du[Am]st
I will kill you [F]if I must
I will [G]help [F]you [E]if I can

[Verse 8]
[C]When it all comes down to dust
I will help you if I must
I will [D]kill you [A]if I [B]can
And [F]mercy on our [Bb]uniform
[F]Man of peace or [Bb]man of war
[F]The peacock spr[G]eads his fan

[Outro 1]
[A][Am]
