Ballad Of Treason

This kiss is a[G] crime, [Cadd9]let's not waste [G]time
The [G]cover of night is brea[Em7]king
We [G]even the score, we[Cadd9] capture five[G] more
[F]Make a [Fm]forbidden o[C]ffering

Our [G]heads are two states, let's [Cadd9]pull down the g[G]ates
[G]Declaring free[Em7]dom
[G]Send out our armies, bring [Cadd9]death to our [G]colonies
[F]Harmony[Fm] drowns out the cri[C]es of our generals

[C]Climb up to the tree top, I'll b[B7]e on the mountain top
[C]Looking for you a[C] [C/B]cross [Am7]the [G] valley
[D]Birds pull you [Cadd9]higher while the [B7]sky is on f[C]ire
[C]Crying for the dying day[Em]light
I [A]need you, I ne[Em]ed you, I nee[A]d you

[G]Bodies on pyres, wa[Cadd9]iting for fi[G]re
The ju[G]dge and the generals, c[Em]laim jurisdi[C]ction
The fai[G]thful assemble, the c[Cadd9]rowd starts to tre[G]mble
The ga[F]vel it r[Fm]ises and begins to [G]fall

[G] (rest) [Cadd9] [G]
The treason proclaimed, pyres burst into flame
[F]Two Souls [Fm]ride the sparks in to the b[G]lue

Climb[C] up to the tree top, I'll [B7]be on the mountain top
Looking for you [C]a [C/B]cross [Am7]the [G] valley
[D]Birds pull you [Cadd9]higher, while the [B7]sky is on f[C]ire
[C]Crying for the dying day[Em]light
I [A]need you, I ne[Em]ed you, I nee[A]d you

This w[G]orld is a shackle, let's [Cadd9]shout till it [G]rattles
[F]Bring down the wa[Fm]lls of Je[G]richo
Climb up[C] to the tree top, I'll be[B7] on the mountain top
[C]Looking for you a [C] c[C/B]ross t[Am7]he v[G]alley
[D]Birds pull you [Cadd9]higher, while the[B7] sky is on [C]fire
[C]Crying for the dying d[Em]aylight
I [A]need you, I ne[Em]ed you
