The Apology Song

==

Capo 5 – sounds more like the original
Intro: [Amemgem] [Am]Toro, I am [Em]humble, for [G]tonight I [Em]understand
Your [Am]royal blood was [Em]never meant to [F]decorate this [E]sand
You've [Dm]suffered great [Em]injustice, so have [Dm]thousands before [Em]you
I [Am]offer an [G]apology, and [F]one long [Am]overdue

Chorus:
I am [Dm]sorry
Toro I am [Am]sorry,
Hear my [Em]song, and know I sing the [Am]truth
Although [Dm]we were bred to fight, I reach for [E]kindness in your heart tonight
And if [Dm]you can forgive, and if [Am]you can forgive, [Em]love can truly [Am]live
And if [Dm]you can forgive, and if [Am]you can forgive, [Em]love can [E]truly [A]live

Verse:
[Am]Toro, I am [Em]frightend, but I'll [F]use my final [E]breath
[Am]To tell you that I'm [Em]sorry, let us [G]end this dance of [Em]death
Two [Dm]centuries of [Em]agony, that [Dm]to your heart [Em]we sent
Here [Am]and now with my [G]amends, the [E]senseless killing [Am]ends

Chorus:
I am [Dm]sorry,
Toro I am [Am]sorry,
Hear my [Em]song, and know I sing the [Am]truth
[Dm]Although we were bred to fight, I reach for [E]kindness in your heart [G]tonight
And if [Dm]you can forgive, and if [Am]you can forgive, [Em]love can truly [Am]live
And if [Dm]you can forgive, and if [Am]you can forgive, [Em]love can [E]truly [Am]live
* beautiful violin solo occurs*
And if [Dm]you can forgive, and if [Am]you can forgive, [Em]love…
[E]Love will truly [Am]live
