Crossing The Rubicon acordes

C7

              G7
‪I crossed the Rubicon on the 14th day
            G7
‪Of the most dangerous month of the year‬‬‬
G7
At the worst time, at the worst place
G7
That’s all I seem to hear‬‬‬
C7                                                   G7
 I got up early so I could greet the goddess of the dawn
D7                                     C7
 I painted my wagon, ‬‬abandoned all hope‬‬‬
                         G7
And I crossed the Rubicon ‬‬‬

          G7
‪Well, the Rubicon is a red river‬‬
      G7
Going gently as she flows
G7
Redder than your ruby lips‬‬‬
        G7
And the blood that flows from the rose
C7
Three miles north of purgatory
                          G7
One step from the great beyond
D7                                        C7
‪I prayed to the cross, I kissed the girls
                         G7
‪And I crossed the Rubicon‬

             G7
‪One of these dark days I’ll see‬‬‬
        G7
In this world so badly bent
‪ G7
How can I redeem the time‬‬?‬
            G7
The time so idly spent?‬‬
‪         C7                                     G7
How much longer can it last? How long can it go on?‬‬
D7                                   C7
I embraced my love, put down my head‬
‪                         G7
And I crossed the Rubicon ‬‬‬

      G7
I can feel the bones beneath my skin ‬‬‬
‪                       G7
And they’re trembling with rage ‬‬‬
‪G7
I’ll make your wife a widow‬‬‬
‪G7
You’ll never see old age ‬‬‬
‪C7
Show me one good man in sight‬
‪                           G7
That the sun shines down upon ‬‬‬
‪D7                                 C7
I pawned my watch, I paid my debts ‬‬‬
‪                          G7      D7
And I crossed the Rubicon ‬‬‬

‪
         G7
I put my heart up on the hill‬‬‬
‪           G7
Where some happiness I’ll find‬‬‬
‪G7
If I survive then let me love‬‬‬
‪G7
Let the hour be mine‬‬‬
C7
Take the high road, take the low‬‬‬
‪                    G7
Take any one you’re on
D7                                   C7
I poured the cup, I passed it along ‬‬‬
‪                         G7
And I crossed the Rubicon ‬‬‬

‪
           G7
Well you defiled the most lovely flower‬‬‬
‪G7
In all of womanhood‬‬‬
‪G7
Others can be tolerant‬‬‬
‪G7
Others can be good
C7
I’ll cut you up with a crooked knife ‬‬‬
‪                                    G7
Lord, and I’ll miss you when you’re gone ‬‬‬
‪D7                                C7
I stood between heaven and earth ‬‬‬
‪                         G7
And I crossed the Rubicon ‬‬‬

‪
          G7
You won’t find any happiness here‬‬‬
‪G7
No happiness or joy‬
‪G7
Go back to the gutter, try your luck‬
‪ G7
Find you some nice pretty boy‬
‪C7
Tell me how many men I need‬
‪                        G7
And who can I count upon‬
‪D7                                     C7
I strapped my belt, I buttoned my coat‬‬‬
‪                         G7
And I crossed the Rubicon‬

‪
           G7
I feel the Holy Spirit inside‬‬‬
‪        G7
See the light that freedom gives‬‬‬
‪G7
I believe it’s in the reach of‬
‪G7
Every man who lives‬
‪C7
Keep as far away as possible‬‬‬
‪                       G7
It’s darkest ‘fore the dawn (O Lord)‬‬
‪            D7                     C7
I turned the key then broke it off‬
‪                         G7    D7
And I crossed the Rubicon‬

G7
Mona, baby, are you still in my mind?
‪G7
I truly believe that you are‬‬‬
‪G7
Could it be anybody else but you‬‬?‬
‪G7
Who’s come with me this far‬‬‬
‪C7
The killing frost is on the ground‬
‪                          G7
And the autumn leaves are gone‬
‪D7                                    C7
I lit the torch, I looked to the East‬
‪                         G7
And I crossed the Rubicon‬‬
