Write me if you use this.
This song is mostly an arpeggiated chord over the verses
and a strummed chorus. On the arpeggiation, you basically
just walk the bass note to the chord.

I will give the secrets you request
and you will be the one to sacrifice
so lay your olive arms across my breast
and sing the poems, free the butterflies
[chorus]
GPray your gods who ask you for your Dblood
GFor they are strong and angry jealous ones D
GOr lay upon my altar now your Dlove A G
GI fear my time is short
GThere are armies moving close
GBe quick, my love
[verse -- same riff]
I feel my body weakened by the years
As people turn to gods of cruel design
Is it that they fear the pain of death
Or could it be they fear the joy of life?
[chorus]
GPray your gods who rule you by your Dfears
GFor they are quick and ruthless punishers D
GOr lay upon my altar now your Dlove A G
GI fear my day is done
GThere are armies moving on
GBe quick, my love
