Dm                  A 
A terrible mistake was made 
                            Dm 
The weight would break the backs 
                               A 
Of ten strong horses tried to save 
                   Dm 
The castle in the fray 
         A                         Dm 
If you knew that I could take the pain 
                   A 
Inflicted at the battle 
                     Dm 
With faithful arrows you 
                        A 
Might get back in the saddle 
                              Dm 
But it's a special death you saved 
                        A 
For me, the brown-eyed daughter 
                   Dm 
Once you made it hotter 
                        A 
The thankless, holy praise 

Is left alone 
       Dm 
Why bother 
                    A 
To cast a stone in water? 
            Dm
