Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Intro: Em C A

Verse:
Em
Some of us love to think of life as a game
C
Others are born into royalty and can never behave
A
Some find a freedom locking men in a cage, oh no

Em
Some priest insisted itʼs a test of the faith
C
And only holy devotion can keep the devils away
A                                             Em
Thereʼs only so much that a man can pray, oh no

Chorus:
C
Oh my love
A       Em
Oh my love
C
Spare my blood
A           Em
Spare my blood

Verse:
Em
I saw the footprints in the white of the snow
C
I counted thousands and I was just a rider alone
A
18 degrees and 80 miles from home, oh no

Em
We built a wall to keep the devils at bay
C
A distant army was marching through the night and the day
A
I swore an oath and with my life I would pay, oh no

Chorus:
C
Oh my love
A       Em
Oh my love
C
Spare my blood

Bridge:
C                              A
Nightshade wonʼt you take me away
                   Em                   A
And I could hold my breath for another day
                C              A        Em
But it was all, it was all, for the throne

Verse:
Em
We were surrounded and the ending was near
C
All of the sudden a ranger arrived, a savior appeared
A
Made it to safety but the devil was here, oh no
A
Oh my love

Outro:
C                              A
Nightshade wonʼt you take me away
            Em                          A
And I could hold my breath for another day
              C               A         Em
But it was all, it was all, for the throne
