VERSE 1

    Dm               C   Bb          Gm      F C
  A day's light told me, of my son's fate
      Dm             Am   Bb         Gm      F C
  the sun showed the way, grim and severe
        Dm         C       Bb        Gm      F C
  pulled under the raging, waters my child
  Dm          Am        Bb          Gm     F C
  sank in the drowning, currents my son,

  I need the heavens help, I ask for thunder's force
    Dm              C           Bb           Gm    F C
  I plead for you oh lightning, forge an iron tool
    Dm            Am          Bb          Gm    F C
  a magic rake of dragging, a river for my son

      banish the serpents of the dark.

VERSE III

    Dm           C     Bb              Gm    F C
  A rake made of iron, from the Gods of skies
      Dm               Am    Bb         Gm    F C
  the spirit of bright days, sent me the sun
