Intro:
C C4 Bb
Gm Eb
Oh hail Mary, full of death
Bb C C4
Sing me a bitter song
Eb C C4
As dark as the day is long
Bb F C
And as black as your eyes are wild
Gm Eb Bb C C4
While the hail from the blackened cloud is raking the firmament
Eb C C4
Destroying our argument
Bb F C
About the temperature and the time
Dm Gm C
Wild and unbroken
C C4 Bb

Gm Eb Bb C C4
We lay like a wounded lamb, facing a billygoat
Eb C C4
Bowed down in our heavy coats
Bb F C
Under the force and the threat of his eyes
Gm Eb
And we march in our rows and rows
Bb C C4
Under a burning hand
Eb C C4
Past the scars of the wounded land
Eb Bb C
Into a country of thorns and spines
Dm Gm C C4
Wild and unbroken
Gm C
Oh, God save the chamberlain
Gm C
Oh, God save his appointed successor
Gm C Eb F C
But God saved his hardest face for you and all your kind
C
That's what's troubling me
Gm Eb Bb C C4 Eb C C4 Bb F C
Gm Eb
Hail Mary, sick and proud
Bb
And holding aloft the light
Eb C C4
That would burn through a heaving night
Eb Bb C
And then leave us upon the rocks
Gm Eb
And the child who is nearly born
Bb C C4
Waits just to do you harm
Eb C C4
Like the shock of a broken arm
Bb F C
Or a love that would burn you blind
Dm
Wild and unbroken
C C4 Bb
