CAPO3
On G a far off August day, cold young C men in ambush G lay,
On a roadside, on a hill where flowers D grow,
So much G hate for one so young, who was C right and who was G wrong,
Though a thousand years may D pass we'll never G know.
[Chorus]
Candles G dripping blood, they placed beside your C shoulders,
Rosary D beads like teardrops on your C fin G gers,
Friends and comrades standing by, in their C grief they wonder G why,
Michael D in their hour of need you had to G go.
[2]
And G when evening twilight came, gentle C fell the August G rain,
Oh but you lay still and silent on the D ground,
As we G hung our heads in prayer, in our C sorrow and G despair,
We wondered was it friend or D foe who shot you G down,
[Chorus]
Candles G dripping blood, they placed beside your C shoulders,
Rosary D beads like teardrops on your C fin G gers,
Friends and comrades standing by, in their C grief they wonder G why,
Michael D in their hour of need you had to G go.
[3]
Now the G flame that you held high, when you C called out to the G sky,
To end this senseless killing and this D shame,
Has now G passed to other hands and is C carried through the G land
By some not fit to D even speak your G name
[Chorus]
Candles G dripping blood, they placed beside your C shoulders,
Rosary D beads like teardrops on your C fin G gers,
Friends and comrades standing by, in their C grief they wonder G why,
Michael D in their hour of need you had to G go.
