The

came at

a.m.
Their
Asus4
manes flayed the window
Am
pane
And they
Am
bore me
Am/G
off to a

muddy
plane
Where the
Dsus2
villages were in
G6sus2
flames
And we
Am
rode all
C/B
night
For they
Am
would not
C/B
turn
Though I
Dsus2
begged and cursed and
G6sus2
wept
They de

livered me

angry
men
Who

punched me until I

Children called me
