Bring 'em downFairport ConventionFrom 'Nine'(One more typical, darkish Trevor Lucas song)Intro: D, A, G, A, D,A G DTime stood dark and silent and the stars they gave no lightA DI was wandering in an endless dream, haunted by the nightA DI saw four ghostly riders, their horses in a lineA D GEach in turn did point at me and said a mournful rhymeWe are the sculptors of the land, the rulers of the seaWe are the falcons of your sins, gardeners of the treesThe air above you is burning and the sea below does drownAnd the legacy you'll leave your spawn will surely bring 'em down( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/fairport_convention/bring_em_down_crd.html )(chorus)G A DBring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em downG A DBring 'em down. bring 'em down ,Curse upon you men of war, with gun or pen in handThe power sought or won or bought, the castles made of sandYou always have good reason to take more than you needYour hearts are full of hatred and your minds are full of greedChorusInstrumental break, (extensive ad liberum on D,ending on several D, A, G, A; D, A, G, A, etc.until a few measures on G lead to D, introducing A andthus flowing into the last verse......Or whatever; just listen to the record)What is deeper than the ocean, colder than the graveAnd stronger than your armies all, and braver than the braveThose who know and all they know will sow on fertile groundThose who don't and never will are those who will go downChorus
