Band The The Saga Of Pepote Rouge Lyrics

The Saga Of Pepote Rouge Lyrics

4 measures of g piano licks

 

 G	       g/f	  |g/e	       g/d	  |

 There's a legend of a lady on the mountain

 G 	 g/f   |c/e	       d      |

 Who lives alone beyond the mecca plain

 G		  g/f	   |g/e 		 g/d	  |

 And with her hands she makes it through the winter

 C	 /     / / |a-		d      |

 She never goes against the grain

 

 To be someone is to be someone alone

 To be someone is known as solitude

 To learn to sing below the surface

 You must adjust your altitude

 

 C	       d	   |g			    |

 Break the news, pepote rouge is coming to town

 C		d	     |g 			|

 We stand accused, pepote rouge, of bein' hellbound

 C 	d	   |g		      e-    |

 She had a vision, and now she holds the key

 C   / 	 /	  /b		|a-		   d	  |

 You don't know what you want, 'til you find out what you need.

 

 Intro

 

 I was stranded on the damn coast when a lady

 Called to me in a voice so soft and low

 Her words resounded like a fountain of truth

 And then she faded like a rainbow

 

 Her golden spaceship with the mother of the earth

 Carved in stone, the queen of avatars

 Where seventy children were given birth

 She then returned back to the stars

 

 Break the news, pepote rouge is coming to town

 We stand accused, pepote rouge, of bein' hellbound

 She can help us find our way and get across

 You don't know what you gained 'til you find out what you lost.

 

 Intro

 

 Pepote rouge come down from the mountain

 And lead our people into the light of day

 For they are lost and know not where they're goin'

 And all their leaders are cast in clay

 

 Now disbelief and mass confusion

 Spreading wild across the land

 You can call it love or call it wisdom

 To be not savin' a drowning man.

 

 Break the news, pepote rouge is coming to town

 We stand accused, pepote rouge, of bein' hellbound

 She can show us just where we went wrong

 You don't know where you're goin' 'til you find where you belong.
