Capo 5 - sounds more like the original
Intro: [Am] [Em] [G] [Em]
============
[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
