Verse:
DmDm A augmentedA
A augmentedA terrible mistake was made
DmDm A augmentedA
The weight would break the backs of ten strong horses tried to save
DmDm
The castle in the fray
A augmentedA DmDm
If you knew that I could take the pain
A augmentedA
Inflicted at the battle with faithful arrows
DmDm A augmentedA
You might get back in the saddle
DmDm
But it's a special death you saved
A augmentedA
For me the brown eyed daughter
DmDm
Once you made it hotter
A augmentedA
The thankless holy praise
DmDm
Is left alone why bother
A augmentedA
To cast a stone in water

On the last Dm, the tab changes slightly and the song is in straight eighths instead of in swing.
