[Intro]
Am
Am F
They took him in arrest with a shot through his chest
E Am
And many more followed through
Am F
The men folk shook their heads and said,
E Am
"We did what we had to do."
Am F
While the women folk buried their heads in their hands
E Am
and covered the children’s eyes
Am F
Before they turned to see Mr. Watson’s
E Am
children and wife crying
F C
Oh Lord, why the storm?
G Am
These shores you scorn
F C
In the times we make
G Am
While our lives you take
F Am
Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands
G F
To raise cane and wreck hell
F Am
Oh and now he’s face down
G Am
face down in those bloody shells
Am F
Here life ain’t grand as sugar cane is sweet
E Am
when the tides bring misery
Am F
Of two young lovers shot all to hell
E Am
over land while Watson’s free
F C
Oh Lord, why the storm?
G Am
These shores you scorn
F C
In the times we make
G Am
While our lives you take
F Am
Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands
G F
To raise cane and wreck hell
F Am
Oh and now he’s face down
G Am
face down in those bloody shells
Am F G Am x4
Am F
Well, boy raise an ear before you raise your iron
E Am
Unless you aim with will
Am F
For Edgar J. won’t back down to you son
E Am
And that’s why he will be killed
F C
Oh Lord, why the storm?
G Am
These shores you scorn
F C
In the times we make
G Am
While our lives you take
F Am
Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands
G F
To raise cane and wreck hell
F Am
Oh and now he’s face down
G Am
face down in those bloody shells
Am F G Am x4
