Come down to the willow garden with me
come go with me
come go and see
   E                                      G
Although I've howled across fields and my eyes

Carry Home to where I am from
 carry to the place that I have come
  C                     A       E
 carry to the dust and flies behind me
carry to the cracks and caves on the face of me


Then... D (xx023)  E
Oh, but I didn't change, I just had to work
Yeah, but I didn't change, I just had to work
 and now I'm home, and now I'm home do you still want
me?
Now, that I'm home

O, I can't ??
For these tears of sorrow
Those eyes won't see
My love no more

Sorrowful the things that I've done
Forgive me, dear, my only one

And now you are back
Once again in your mind
To have and hold
Till ain't the time

The moon shines down from up above
It's like to see the Fire Of love

The Fire of love...

(E)--5 / 77777---55---|

I'll take you sleeping up the street
I'll take you very softly
I'll take under the parking light
I'll hold you very softly

Just like a soul, your face will shine
even though your mind's been blown
was the type of love, a much better kind
when you were on your own?

chorus :

       D       E
You are taken, going down,
    D                  A  (he seems to play G#{4665}/A)
way down to Blood City
          D         E
 you are taken, going down,
   F#                                  E
through the bloody red eyes of Blood City

Look above you for the sky is black
and the asphalt is blue
throw yourself right down on your back
and look at me for what to do

I don't take what is given to me
I just take it from the land
was the type of love a much better kind
when you were with another man?

You are taken, going down
right down to Blood City
you are taken, going down,
through the bloody red eyes of Blood City

I'll take you sleeping up the street
I'll take you very softly
I'll take you under the parking lights
and hold you so softly

just like a soul, your face will shine
even though your mind's been blown
was the type of love, a much better kind
WHEN YOU WERE ON YOUR OWN??!!!

You are taken, going down
right down to Blood City
you are taken, going down
through the bloody red eyes of BLOOD CITY!

I'm going down the river of sadness
I'm going down the river of pain
in the dark, under the wires.
I hear them call my name

I gave you the key to the highway
and the key to my hotel door
yes, I'm tired of leaving and leaving
so, I won't come back no more

Oh, my dark-eyed friend
I'm recalling you again
soft voices that speak nothing
speak nothing to the end

bridge : I'm not sure but it seems to be in A and then Em, like this

Oh, Mother of Earth
the blind they call
but, yet stay behind the wall
their sadness grows like weeds
upon my thighs and knees

Oh, Mother of Earth
the wind is hot
I tried my best, but I could not
and my eyes fade from me
in this open country
