Ballad Of Treason

              G       Cadd9           G
This kiss is a crime, let's not waste time
    G                     Em7
The cover of night is breaking
   G                 Cadd9        G
We even the score, we capture five more
F      Fm         C
Make a forbidden offering

    G                           Cadd9          G
Our heads are two states, let's pull down the gates
G             Em7
Declaring freedom
G                          Cadd9        G
Send out our armies, bring death to our colonies
F      Fm                 C
Harmony drowns out the cries of our generals

C                               B7
Climb up to the tree top, I'll be on the mountain top
C                C   C/B      Am7    G
Looking for you a    cross    the       valley
D              Cadd9            B7         C
Birds pull you higher while the sky is on fire
C                       Em
Crying for the dying daylight
  A             Em           A
I need you, I need you, I need you

G                  Cadd9       G
Bodies on pyres, waiting for fire
      G                      Em          C
The judge and the generals, claim jurisdiction
       G                    Cadd9             G
The faithful assemble, the crowd starts to tremble
      F       Fm                 G
The gavel it rises and begins to fall

      G         (rest)        Cadd9       G
The treason proclaimed, pyres burst into flame
F         Fm                         G
Two Souls ride the sparks in to the blue

     C                         B7
Climb up to the tree top, I'll be on the mountain top
                C   C/B    Am7    G
Looking for you a   cross  the     valley
D              Cadd9             B7         C
Birds pull you higher, while the sky is on fire
C                       Em
Crying for the dying daylight
  A             Em           A
I need you, I need you, I need you

      G                        Cadd9         G
This world is a shackle, let's shout till it rattles
F                Fm       G
Bring down the walls of Jericho
        C                        B7
Climb up to the tree top, I'll be on the mountain top
C                 C  C/B    Am7      G
Looking for you a   cross  the      valley
D              Cadd9            B7         C
Birds pull you higher, while the sky is on fire
C                     Em
Crying for the dying daylight
  A             Em
