Well, the proper version of this is a bit hard, and doesn't sound great on guitar,
so here it is in in they key of C instead of Bm.
It appears on the Cold Mountain soundtrack and was written by Elvis Costello.
Intro: C C! C! C x2
C F C
When I recall his parting words
C F
Must I accept his fate
G C F G
Or take myself far from this place
C F C
I thought I heard a black bell toll
C F
A little bird did sing
G C
Man has no choice
F G C
When he wants every thing
C G C
We'll rise above the scarlet tide
C F
That trickles down through the mountain
C F G C
And separates the widow from the bride
C F C
Man goes beyond his own decision
C F
Gets caught up in the mechanism
C G
Of swindlers who act like kings
C F
And brokers who break everything
C F C
The dark of night was swiftly fading
F
Close to the dawn of day
F C G C
Why would I want him just to lose him again
Chorus x2
Outro
C C! C! C x2
C! is a chord which I have no idea what to call it, but it just this. 032013
