[Intro]
Am
Am                        F
They took him in arrest with a shot through his chest
    E                  Am
And many more followed through
    Am                   F
The men folk shook their heads and said,
    E                  Am
"We did what we had to do."
          Am                      F
While the women folk buried their heads in their hands
    E                      Am
and covered the children's eyes
   Am                 F
Before they turned to see Mr. Watson's
E                 Am
children and wife crying

F             C
Oh Lord, why the storm?
      G          Am
These shores you scorn
       F        C
In the times we make
          G         Am
While our lives you take
         F                        Am
Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands
   G                    F
To raise cane and wreck hell
        F       Am
Oh and now he's face down
     G                    Am
face down in those bloody shells

Am                        F
Here life ain't grand as sugar cane is sweet
         E               Am
when the tides bring misery
    Am              F
Of two young lovers shot all to hell
     E                   Am
over land while Watson's free

F             C
Oh Lord, why the storm?
      G          Am
These shores you scorn
       F        C
In the times we make
          G         Am
While our lives you take
         F                        Am
Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands
   G                    F
To raise cane and wreck hell
        F       Am
Oh and now he's face down
     G                    Am
face down in those bloody shells

Am F G Am x4

Am                      F
Well, boy raise an ear before you raise your iron
  E                  Am
Unless you aim with will
    Am                  F
For Edgar J. won't back down to you son
    E                     Am
And that's why he will be killed

F             C
Oh Lord, why the storm?
      G          Am
These shores you scorn
       F        C
In the times we make
          G         Am
While our lives you take
         F                        Am
Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands
   G                    F
To raise cane and wreck hell
        F       Am
Oh and now he's face down
     G                    Am
face down in those bloody shells

Am F G Am x4
