Rum Runners from Tales of the Great Rum Runners 1974 Lyrics: Robert Hunter Music: Robert Hunter C Here is a taste of the great rum runners Am Ships that sailed the velvet harbor C Crews that broke the jugs and poured your blood G Am Like flowing rum upon the sand Am Sinking down, down, down G Upon the sand, upon the sea Am Upon the hills of liquid green G They rise to fall, they rise again C/G G Am Their dreams tattered sails in the wind C Here is a wail of a lone flute playing Am Those not hanged, by time were slain C Here is a cup of blood and tears G Am Here is the wail of a hundred years Am Sinking down, down, down G Upon the sand, upon the sea Am Upon the hills of liquid green G They rise to fall, they rise again C/G G Am Their dreams tattered sails in the wind C Overnight they turned to water Am No blood rang when they went to slaughter C Tears were few, though sighs were heavy G Am Bones were stacked in the main library [instrumental] C Am C G Am Am Turning down, down, down G Till their dreams are touching ground Am Rising up like gentle rain G They turn to rise and fall again [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/robert-hunter/387969.html ] C Running round and changing faces Am Marking time and keeping paces C Ducking down awhile to die G Am Their faces melt to barren sky C After all the trial and fury Am They spared the judge and hanged the jury C No one asked the reason why G Am Sentence passed they turned to die Am Turning down, down, down G Till their dreams are touching ground Am Rising up like gentle rain G They turn to rise and fall again C/G G Am Their dreams tattered sails in the wind C Here is fire and bloody slaughter Am Written on the leaves of water C Here is a ship with all hands singing Am Here is a dock with dark men swinging Am Down, down, down G Upon the sand, upon the sea Am Upon the hills of liquid green G They rise to fall, they rise again C/G G Am Their dreams tattered sails in the wind C Here is a taste of the great rum runners Am Ships that sailed the velvet harbor C Crews that broke the jugs and poured your blood G Am Like flowing rum upon the sand Am Sinking down, down, down G Upon the sand, upon the sea Am Upon the hills of liquid green G They rise to fall, they rise again C/G G Am Their dreams tattered sails in the wind C/G G Am Their dreams tattered sails in the wind  |
