A5 (x022xx) D G C
Hammer-on the C chords.
In the chorus the run leading up to the C chord goes (E3 A0 A2).
As he A5laid Spanish rDoses in her haGir C G
And then A5covered the crDown of thorns she wGears C G
And the blCood from her lA5ips as she siDngs
Do it aCll for the glA5ory of thDee
And they carried her dCown, down, dGown
Down in the cCold, cold, grGound
By the river she uCsed to pGray
Forever now sChe will wGait for the kDingC to coGme C G
And the bA5oys who would cDrave her perfect skGin C G
She buA5rned herself, she thDought it would please hGim C G
And the irCon chain spA5iked around her waDist
And the poCison she usA5ed to hide her faDce
refrain:
And they carried her down, down, down
Down in the cold, cold, ground
By the river she used to pray
Forever now she will wait for the king to come
And she made a bed of broken glass and stone
Where she slept at night to prove her faith was strong
And when her broken body finally gave
There grew Spanish roses by her grave
And they carried her down, down, down
Down in the cold, cold, ground
By the river she used to pray
Forever now she will wait for the king to come
