Standard (EADGBE)

Hammer-on the C chords.

In the chorus the run leading up to the C chord goes (E3 A0 A2).

 As he laid Spanish roses in her hair

 And then covered the crown of thorns she wears

 And the blood from her lips as she sings

 Do it all for the glory of thee

 And they carried her down, down, down

 Down in the cold, cold, ground

 By the river she used to pray

 Forever now she will wait for the king to come

 And the boys who would crave her perfect skin

 She burned herself, she thought it would please him

 And the iron chain spiked around her waist

 And the poison she used to hide her face

Refrain

And they carried her down, down, down

Down in the cold, cold, ground

By the river she used to pray

Forever now she will wait for the king to come

And she made a bed of broken glass and stone

Where she slept at night to prove her faith was strong

And when her broken body finally gave

There grew Spanish roses by her grave

And they carried her down, down, down

Down in the cold, cold, ground

By the river she used to pray

Forever now she will wait for the king to come
