Leslie Fish - The arizona sword

"Blac^Amksmith, make a s^Dmword for ^Amme, such as no^Gne did ever s^Emee, For a^Amncient sym^Cbols of maj^Dmesty have p^Cower in tr^Goubled ti^Emmes ^{C D} Black^Amsmith, m^Cake me a magic^D sword, one t^Dhat will ma^Emke me the valley's ^Glord Whom f^Amolk will ha^Cil with^Dm one acco^Frd to sa^Cve them from their crim^Ames. ^{Em C G}

^AmSeeing he would ^Dmnot be de^Amterred, the blacksmith t^Gook him at hi^Ems word A^Amnd pondere^Cd long on w^Dmhat he'd he^Card about ^Gthis woul^Emd-be lord. He pumped^Am the fir^Ce and he made ^Dhis start m^Delted i^Emron in the fire's ^Gheart, But he n^Amamed the st^Ceel with an ^Dmolder ^Fart the ^CArizona ^AmSword. ^{Am G}

He c^Amhanted ^Cwords to the ^Dmblazing ^Fmix, of a^Amncient R^Ced Men's and ^GWhite Men's t^Amricks To d^Amraw a s^Cpirit, and purp^Dmose fix in w^Chat the bl^Gade would ^Emfeel: The i^Amron la^Cws from ^DNature's h^Dand, the ru^Dthless w^Fill of the de^Esert l^Gand, ^{C G} The fr^Ameedom n^Co one c^Dman command –^F and c^Cast that th^Gought in s^Amteel. ^{G Am}

And w^Amhen the b^Clacksmith's w^Dmork was ^Fdone, the ^Amnew swo^Crd gle^Gamed like the setting ^Esun. All d^Amown the blade did the o^Dmld runes run, a warn^Cing plain to ^Emsee. The s^Amteel was gr^Cained like the f^Dinest wood. A f^Dull y^Fard long and m^Emore it s^Gtood. The rune^Ams read: "^FI serve ^Dmbut the ^Fgood of l^Fife and lib^Amerty." ^{D Dm Am}

^AmNear the h^Cilt, set in ^Dmcopper w^Fire, a ph^Foenix r^Cose up f^Grom the ^Empyre. A co^Ampper s^Ctar wit^Dmhin the f^Fire ra^Cyed out c^Gopper c^Emords. The g^Amrip was like a sa^Aguaro m^Dade that ^Dclasped a m^Foon in q^Gmuartz and j^Gade. ^{C G} In tr^Amuth, like ^Dmto no ^Dother b^Flade was the A^Crizo^Gna S^Amword. ^{G Am}

^Am"Blacksmith,^Cwell have ye s^Dmerved my c^Fause. ^FThis shall a^Cid me to m^Gake the ^Emlaws. Hmm, the ^Amguards are ^Cshaped like ^Dmcougar's p^Faws; ^Fin truth, li^Cke non^Ge I've s^Emeen. The pr^Amice is steep, b^Dut I shall not carp. She'll s^Ding more p^Fraise than a minstrel's ^Gharp. Ye g^Amods, that b^Flade is r^Dmazor-^Fsharp! ...For a s^Cymbol, ^Gvery ^Amkeen."^{E Am}

"And ^Amcheap she'll b^Ce if I ^Dmstrike ye ^Fdead! " The ^Fblacksmith promptly t^Gurned an^Emd fled. The l^Amordling l^Caughed and ^Dmshrugged in^Cstead, and ^Cwent out to m^Geet his h^Emorde. He cr^Amied out: "T^Chis is the ^Dmday foret^Fold. ^DmJust one ^Fhand now this ^Emland shall ^Ghold^C, ^{G Am}For in this ^Csign will I ^Dmrule. Be^Fhold, the ^CAriz^Gona S^Amword."

^Am"No more a^Crgument sh^Dmall we f^Find, but ^Amall hereaf^Cter shall^G be in^Emclined To ju^Amst one p^Curpose and ^Dmjust one mi^Cnd. ^CThus do I ^Gmean to ^Emdo. ^AmNow go ye f^Dorth, and take the ^Dmland. The s^Dmword heard ^Fwell his ^Efirst com^Gmand. ^{C G} She ^Amlunged and t^Cwisted in^Dm his h^Fand, and f^Cell, and r^Gan him th^Amrough.

They ^Amsay the ^Csword vanished ^Dmclean ^Faway, for ^Amnone has ^Cheard of it si^Gnce that ^Emday, But s^Feek it wi^Csely, and find ye m^Day. Take ca^Cre, who wo^Guld be l^Emord. Bewar^Fe, ye ^Ctyrant! ^DBeware, ye fool! For w^Amho is the ^Fmaster and ^Cwho the t^Gool? ^{C G} Ye ^Ammay well ^Cserve, but ye ^Dmshall not r^Fule the ^CAriz^Gona ^AmSword ^{C G}
