Hm
She's the maid of the river
      D
So beautiful plain
     A                        Hm  
As fresh as the country that gave her a name

As crisps as the snow
	 D
And as swift as the rain
      A
She shone like the sun
       Hm
Before all of our games

She shone like a jewel
	  D
But her price was not gold
     A
She cried more than more
	   Hm
When her story was told

But her people were evil
	  D
Left her baron and cold
	 A
And her heart went to market
	   Hm
Where her body was sold

			     D
I said - Hey, hey won't you take me away
	 A                          Hm
Cause I can't see the point in the dawn of the day
		       D
So many killers gonna take you away
	 A                        Hm
They'll leave nothing left except hatred

	   F#m
She's the goddess of love
     Hm
The goddess in green
    F#m
The goddess of all
      Hm
That I've ever seen
    F#m
The goddess of hope
    Hm
The goddess in brown
    F#m
The goddess of all

That you've burned to the ground

	 Hm                  D
I said - Hey, hey won't you take me away
	 A                         Hm
Cause I can't see the point in the dawn of the day
		       D
So many killers gonna take you away
	  A                        Hm
They'll leave nothing left except hatred


There's all kind of hatred
       D
Flows out of man's hands
	     A
There's the hatred that strangles
       Hm
The throat of a man

But the worst of all hatred
     D
Is that which is planned
   A
Against what we have
	 Hm
In this goddess of land

I said - Hey, hey won't you take me away
