Verse 1:
Gmaj7 Fmaj7
Countries, that know only the springtime
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
And your green fields, with your scentin' of hay
Bm G C
Know Ringo, with his angel face
G D G
And a woman, who was waitin' for his return
Bridge:
Bm
Cross the canyons he laughed
Em Bm
Down the valley the death
D G A7
And he left behind a river of blood
Bm
For his life was guided
Em Bm
By a crude law
G A7 D
He only had a mind to get gold
Verse 2:
Gmaj7 Fmaj7
Rivers, you know how is the history
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
And his laughin' was a presage of death
Bm G C
Ringo, had an angel face
G D
But whenever Ringo laughed,
G C
Ringo fired
