MAID OF THE RIVER / ZEITGEIST
She's the [Bm]maid of the river
So [D]beautiful plain
As [A]fresh as the country
That [Bm]gave her her name
As crips as the snow
And as [D]swift as the rain
She [A]shone like the sun
Before [Bm]all of our games
She shone like a jewel
But her [D]price was not gold
She [A]cired more than most
When her [Bm]story was told
But her people were evil
Left her [D]baron and cold
And her [A]heart went to market
Where her [Bm]body was sold
I said : '[Bm]Hey, hey won't you [D]take me away
Cos I c[A]an't see the point
In the [Bm]dawn of the day
So many killers gonna [D]take you away
They'll [A]leave nothing left except [Bm]hatred'
She's the [F#]goddess of love
The [Bm]goddess in green
The [F#]goddess of all
That [Bm]I've ever seen
The [F#]goddess of hope
The [Bm]goddess in brown
The [F#]goddess of all
That you've burned to the ground
There's all kind of hatred
Flows out of man's hands
There's the hatred that strangles
The throat of a man
But the worst of all hatred
Is that which is planned
Against what we have
In this goddess of land
