World Before Colombus

Tom: Em
Intro: D9/E
Em       C7+             Bm      C7+  
If your love were taken from me
Em    C7+             Bm        C7+  
Every color would be black and white.
G        D/F#              Em           Amsus
It would be as flat as the world before Colombus.
G          D/F#            Em      F       D9/E
That's the day that I lose half my sight.
Em      C7+              Bm      C7+  
If your life were taken from me
Em      C7+                   Bm        C7+  
All the trees would freeze in this cold ground.
G         D/F#              Em          Amsus
It would be as cold as the world before Colombus.
G    D/F#             Em      F
Sail to the edge and I'll be there, looking
D9/E
Down.
G     D/F#              Em           C                 G
Those men who lust for land and for riches strange and new,
          D/F#         Em               C              G
All those trinkets of desire, but they never will have you.
            D/F#           Em           C              G
And they'll never know the gold or the copper in your hair,
     D/F#                F                D9/E
How could they weigh the worth of you so rare.
Em        C7+            Bm      C7+  
If your love were taken from me
Em    C7+                       Bm        C7+  
Every light that's bright would soon grow dim.
G         D/F#             Em           Amsus
It would be as dark as the world before Colombus.
G         D/F#          Em       F
Down the waterfall and I'd swim over the
D9/E
Brim.
G     D/F#              Em            C                G
Those men who lust for land and for riches strange and new,
          D/F#         Em              C               G
All those trinkets of desire, oh they never will have you.
            D/F#           Em           C              G
And they'll never know the gold or the copper in your hair,
     D/F#                F                D9/E
How could they weigh the worth of you so rare.
