C#5C#5  D5D5  E5E5

Verse 1:
C#5C#5
  I was raised in the years of the harvest
                   D5D5
There were fields to the far horizon turning to the sun
C#5C#5
  I have killed more than I could eat
              D5D5
I live in a house filled with bones
C#5C#5
  But now the rain doesn't fall
D5D5
  And the wells are running brackish and dry
C#5C#5
  We stare out across the shrivelling fields
    D5D5
At the pitiless blue of the pitiless sky

Chorus:
  B5B5
Bad harvest is come, we're gathering dust
   D5D5          B5B5
The scavenger birds are returning
   B5B5
La Muerte parades through the capital streets
        D5D5             B5B5
Soon they'll be hunting for witches for the burning

Verse 2:
C#5C#5
  I can hear in the far-off distance
                 D5D5
The sound of the men making ready  to come
C#5C#5
  I can hear them saddling horses
                  D5D5
And the sound of the hounds howling scenting the kill in the air
C#5C#5
  I can taste fear on my tongue
D5D5
  I can feel fear in my heart
C#5C#5
  We'll be running and stumbling through the thick dark woods
      D5D5
Through the barren fields through the empty towns

Chorus:
  B5B5
Bad harvest is come and the wars they are lost
  D5D5           B5B5
Whatever is left will be returning
   B5B5
La Muerte parades through the capital streets
        D5D5              B5B5
Soon they'll be hunting for witches for the burning

Bridge:
      C5C5         B5B5
Beneath the towering clouds of rusting red
    C5C5          B5B5
As the sun bleeds into the horizon
  C5C5              B5B5
The churches of the new gods are closing their doors
    C5C5        B5B5
And the hard old gods are vengeance-bent on their returning

Intro:
C#5C#5  D5D5  E5E5

Bridge:
  C#5C#5
The gardens of the ruined towers glow with burning crosses
     D5D5
While the kings are in their counting houses counting out their losses
C# minorC#m                          D5D5
  Trust to the stories, my love - it's what they are for what's happening now has happened before

Chorus:
  B5B5
Bad harvest is come, we're gathering dust
   D5D5          B5B5
The scavenger birds are returning
   B5B5
La Muerte parades through the capital streets
      D5D5       B5B5
Whatever is left will be returning
          C5C5              B5B5
And now they'll be hunting for witches for the burning
        C5C5           B5B5
They'll be hunting for witches for the burning
        C5C5           B5B5
They'll be hunting for witches for the burning
        C5C5
They'll be hunting for witches for the burning
