They took him in arrest with a shot through his chest

And many more followed through 
    Am                   F               
The men folk shook their heads and said, 
    E                  Am 
"We did what we had to do." 
          Am                      F 
While the women folk buried their heads in their hands 
    E                      Am 
and covered the children?s eyes 
   Am                 F

Oh Lord, why the storm? 
      G          Am

         F                        Am 
Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands 
   G                    F 
To raise cane and wreck hell 
        F       Am

     G                    Am        
face down in those bloody shells

Here life ain?t grand as sugar cane is sweet 
         E               Am 
when the tides bring misery 
    Am              F       
Of two young lovers shot all to hell 
     E                   Am 
over land while Watson?s free 

   F             C 
Oh Lord, why the storm?

These shores you scorn

While our lives you take

Well, boy raise an ear before you raise your iron 
  E                  Am 
Unless you aim with will
