[Verses]
[tab] Am F
The door it opened slowly,[/tab]
[tab] Am F
my father he came in,[/tab]
[tab] G F E
I was nine years old.[/tab]
[tab] Am F
And he stood so tall above me,[/tab]
[tab] Am F
his blue eyes they were shining[/tab]
[tab] G F E
and his voice was very cold.[/tab]
[tab] C
He said, "I've had a vision[/tab]
and you know I'm strong and holy,
[tab] D C B
I must do what I've been told."[/tab]
[tab] F Bb
So he started up the mountain,[/tab]
[tab] F Bb
I was running, he was walking,[/tab]
[tab] F G A Am
and his axe was made of gold.[/tab]
[tab] Am F
Well, the trees they got much smaller,[/tab]
[tab] Am F
the lake a lady's mirror,[/tab]
[tab] G F E
we stopped to drink some wine.[/tab]
[tab] Am F
Then he threw the bottle over,[/tab]
[tab] Am F
broke a minute later[/tab]
[tab] G F E
and he put his hand on mine.[/tab]
[tab] C
Thought I saw an eagle[/tab]
but it might have been a vulture,
[tab] D C B
I never could decide.[/tab]
[tab] F Bb
Then my father built an altar,[/tab]
[tab] F Bb
he looked once behind his shoulder,[/tab]
[tab] F G A Am
he knew I would not hide.[/tab]
[tab]Am F
You who build the altars now[/tab]
[tab] Am F
to sacrifice these children,[/tab]
[tab] G F E
you must not do it anymore.[/tab]
[tab] Am F
A scheme is not a vision[/tab]
[tab] Am F
and you never have been tempted[/tab]
[tab] G F E
by a demon or a god.[/tab]
[tab]C
You who stand above them now,[/tab]
your hatchets blunt and bloody,
[tab] D C B
you were not there before,[/tab]
[tab] F Bb
when I lay upon a mountain[/tab]
[tab] F Bb
and my father's hand was trembling[/tab]
[tab] F G A Am
with the beauty of the word.[/tab]
[tab] Am F
And if you call me brother now,[/tab]
[tab] Am F
forgive me if I inquire,[/tab]
[tab] G F E
"Just according to whose plan?"[/tab]
[tab]Am F
When it all comes down to dust[/tab]
[tab]Am F
I will kill you if I must,[/tab]
[tab] G F E
I will help you if I can.[/tab]
[tab]C
When it all comes down to dust[/tab]
I will help you if I must,
[tab] D C B
I will kill you if I can.[/tab]
[tab] F Bb
And mercy on our uniform,[/tab]
[tab]F Bb
man of peace or man of war,[/tab]
[tab] F G A Am
the pea spreads his fan.[/tab]
