Intro : C  Dm  F
       (Am  G) (2x)

             Dm          F
He buried her heart still
              Am        G
He buried her on her own
       Dm        F
By the cool ferns
               Am         G
In the rained on river bed

            Dm         F
He took her in his arms
          Am        G
He carried her ghost
        Dm              F
Through grey stone fields
           Am          G
He could feel her float

      C       F
She said, "I would die for you
 C     F
"I would die for you"
     Am
And it all came true
   G
It all came true

C Dm                  F
Am                    G

        Dm    F
A love so dark
         Am      G
Against that moon
          Dm      F
With a silken cord
        Am        G
She spoke too soon

      C       F
She said, "I would die for you
C      F
I would die for you"
            Dm         F
When he first laid eyes
           Am      G
It was like a curse

             Dm       F
He felt his heart rise
          Am          G
And gravity in reverse
            Dm       F
Her eyes full of hope
                Am        G
Her voice full of mourning
           Dm      F
And her lips as red
          Am          G
As a shepherds warning

      C       F
She said, "I would die for you
 C     F
"I would die for you"
    Am
And it all came true
   G
It all came true

(C  Dm  F)
(Am  G) (2x)

       Dm
He lay her down
          Am       G
In the gentle earth
         Dm              F
And kissed her eyes closed
           Am      G
Like it didn't hurt

     Dm    F                Am        G
Whisper, "I          would die for you
 Dm     F          Am    G
"I     would die for you"
 C      F
"I  would die for you"
C       F
"I  would die for you"
Dm     F           Am    G
"I     would die for you"

And it all came true
It all came true
