[Intro] C7 [Verse 1] G7 I crossed the Rubicon on the 14th day G7 Of the most dangerous month of the year G7 At the worst time, at the worst place G7 That’s all I seem to hear C7 G7 I got up early so I could greet the goddess of the dawn D7 C7 I painted my wagon, abandoned all hope G7 And I crossed the Rubicon

[Verse 2] G7 Well, the Rubicon is a red river G7 Going gently as she flows G7 Redder than your ruby lips G7 And the blood that flows from the rose C7 Three miles north of purgatory G7 One step from the great beyond D7 C7 I prayed to the cross, I kissed the girls G7 And I crossed the Rubicon [Verse 3] G7 One of these dark days I’ll see G7 In this world so badly bent G7 How can I redeem the time? G7 The time so idly spent? C7 G7 How much longer can it last? How long can it go on? D7 C7 I embraced my love, put down my head G7 And I crossed the Rubicon [Verse 4] G7 I can feel the bones beneath my skin G7 And they’re trembling with rage G7 I’ll make your wife a widow G7 You’ll never see old age C7 Show me one good man in sight G7 That the sun shines down upon D7 C7 I pawned my watch, I paid my debts G7 D7 And I crossed the Rubicon

[Verse 5]
G7
I put my heart up on the hill
G7
Where some happiness I’ll find
G7
If I survive then let me love
G7
Let the hour be mine
C7
Take the high road, take the low
G7
Take any one you’re on
D7 C7
I poured the cup, I passed it along
G7
And I crossed the Rubicon

[Verse 6]
G7
Well you defiled the most lovely flower
G7
In all of womanhood
G7
Others can be tolerant
G7
Others can be good
C7
I’ll cut you up with a crooked knife
G7
Lord, and I’ll miss you when you’re gone
D7 C7
I stood between heaven and earth
G7
And I crossed the Rubicon
[Verse 7]
G7
You won’t find any happiness here
G7
No happiness or joy
G7
Go back to the gutter, try your luck
G7
Find you some nice pretty boy
C7
Tell me how many men I need
G7
And who can I count upon
D7 C7
I strapped my belt, I buttoned my coat
G7
And I crossed the Rubicon

G7 I truly believe that you are G7 Could it be anybody else but you? G7 Who’s come with me this far C7 The killing frost is on the ground G7 And the autumn leaves are gone D7 C7 I lit the torch, I looked to the East G7 And I crossed the Rubicon [Outro] G7 G7 G7 G7 C7 G7 D7 C7 G7
