Dm                  A
A terrible mistake was made
                            Dm
The weight would break the backs
                               A
Of ten strong horses tried to save
                   Dm
The castle in the fray
         A                         Dm
If you knew that I could take the pain
                   A
Inflicted at the battle
                     Dm
With faithful arrows you
                        A
Might get back in the saddle
                              Dm
But it's a special death you saved
                        A
For me, the brown-eyed daughter
                   Dm
Once you made it hotter
                        A
The thankless, holy praise

Is left alone
       Dm
Why bother
                    A
To cast a stone in water?
            Dm
