Intro: 
C C4 Bb

    Gm                  EbOh hail Mary, full of death
Bb                      C C4Sing me a bitter song
    Eb                C C4As dark as the day is long
         Bb           F        CAnd as black as your eyes are wild
          Gm                        Eb        Bb                C C4While the hail from the blackened cloud is raking the firmament
     Eb                 C C4Destroying our argument
           Bb          F      CAbout the temperature and the time
Dm          Gm     CWild and unbroken

C C4 Bb

    Gm                 Eb   Bb                  C C4We lay like a wounded lamb, facing a billygoat
       Eb                      C C4Bowed down in our heavy coats
          Bb            F               CUnder the force and the threat of his eyes
        Gm                     EbAnd we march in our rows and rows
Bb                   C C4Under a burning hand
Eb                                  C C4Past the scars of the wounded land
         Eb           Bb             CInto a country of thorns and spines
Dm          Gm     C C4Wild and unbroken

    Gm           C Oh, God save the chamberlain
    Gm             C Oh, God save his appointed successor
    Gm             C      Eb       F                CBut God saved his hardest face for you and all your kind
CThat's what's troubling me

Gm Eb Bb C C4 Eb C C4 Bb F C

Gm                  EbHail Mary, sick and proud
    Bb                    And holding aloft the light
           Eb                           C C4That would burn through a heaving night
         Eb       Bb       CAnd then leave us upon the rocks
Gm                             EbAnd the child who is nearly born
Bb                         C C4Waits just to do you harm
Eb                             C C4Like the shock of a broken arm
     Bb              F             COr a love that would burn you blind
DmWild and unbroken
