Hammer-on the C chords.
In the chorus the run leading up to the C chord goes (E3 A0 A2).
As he D5laid Spanish rFoses in her haFir F F
And then D5covered the crFown of thorns she wFears F F
And the blFood from her lD5ips as she siFngs
Do it aFll for the glD5ory of thFee
And they carried her dFown, down, dFown
Down in the cFold, cold, grFound
By the river she uFsed to pFray
Forever now sFhe will wFait for the kFingF to coFme F F
And the bD5oys who would cFrave her perfect skFin F F
She buD5rned herself, she thFought it would please hFim F F
And the irFon chain spD5iked around her waFist
And the poFison she usD5ed to hide her faFce
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
