Verse:
      C     G/B      D
When Isaiah Roth had just turned ten
       C       G/B       D
He was working up in the loft again
          G       G/B    C
He looked out and he saw eight white men
            G       D
Come riding up that day

Verse:
        C          G/B      D
The men called out from the deepening glade
           C        G/B     D
Saying, ”Ya'll come out and we can trade”
           G      G/B        C
The forest people walked out unafraid
                G    D
With smiles and open hands

Verse:
          C       G/B    D
The white traders lifted up their guns
    C         G/B           D
And shot them down each and every one
        G    G/B       C
And the Eden that John Roth begun
             G      D
Lay bleeding on the ground

Chorus:
      C             G                           D
Do no harm, shed no blood, the only law here is love
       C                G            D
We can call the kingdom down here on earth
          C           G/B                Am         G/B      C
Beat your swords into ploughs, don't be afraid I'll show you how
                      G/B  G               D
Lift your eyes to the sky, all is friendly here

Verse:
        C         G/B     D
Now the world has aged by fifty years
    C       G/B      D
The Quakers came and settled near
     G     G/B        C
Old Isaiah Roth still preaches here
                  G      D
That the greatest law is love

Verse:
         C      G/B      D
Now some people say it's all a scam
         C       G/B D
Just the ravings of  some old man
     G     G/B       C
But Isaiah Roth says he still can
         G      D
See Eden on the hill

Outro:
      C             G                           D
Do no harm, shed no blood, the only law here is love
