           Em        G            C          G
There were letters unopened at the foot of my bed
                               C
When I woke up with you in the morn

There were lions roaring on ships in the harbour
    Em       D            C
The night my true love was born
          Em       G             C    G
There's a minstrel singing of the holy dove
                          C
On the mountain of old St Jerome

There is glass on the floor of the hallway I walk
         Em         D               C
When the stars bare down from their throne
        Em           D        C
And the old southern cross is shown
       Em              D        C
And it points down the sad road home
       Em          D      G   C
To the land of the bloody unknown

I heard that your mother took off in the fall
         G                           C
With her pretty curls and her wooden spoon

I heard you whispering to yourself last night
          Em         D        C
She'd be coming home someday soon
         Em       G               C
Well the wine you drink is stained deep in your shirt
    G                       C
And just like the sin in my soul

It is never ever, ever, ever coming out
          Em        D               C
While the stars bare down from their throne
        Em          D        C
And the old southern cross is shown
       Em             D        C
And it points down the sad road home

       Em         G              C         G
To the land of the hunter dancing under the trigger
                                C
And the bride washing up on the shore

I could never really dance that well
        D
I can't raise the flags or ring them bells
          C        D            Em  G          C
But I can shoot my gun down the line towards my home
       Em         D      G   C
To the land of the bloody unknown

There's a black dog watching over me in my sleep
                                C
And I stir just to toss him the bone

There's a red moon rising on the hills tonight
          Em        D               C
Where the stars bare down from their throne
        Em          D        C
And the old southern cross is shown
       Em             D        C
And it points down the sad road home
