CAPO 3 

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