Intro
B7
[Verse 1]
F#7
I crossed the Rubicon on the 14th day
F#7
Of the most dangerous month of the year
F#7
At the worst time, at the worst place
F#7
That’s all I seem to hear
B7 F#7
I got up early so I could greet the goddess of the dawn
C#7 B7
I painted my wagon, abandoned all hope
F#7
And I crossed the Rubicon
[Verse 2]
F#7
Well, the Rubicon is a red river
F#7
Going gently as she flows
F#7
Redder than your ruby lips
F#7
And the blood that flows from the rose
B7
Three miles north of purgatory
F#7
One step from the great beyond
C#7 B7
I prayed to the cross, I kissed the girls
F#7
And I crossed the Rubicon
[Verse 3]
F#7
One of these dark days I’ll see
F#7
In this world so badly bent
F#7
How can I redeem the time?
F#7
The time so idly spent?
B7 F#7
How much longer can it last? How long can it go on?
C#7 B7
I embraced my love, put down my head
F#7
And I crossed the Rubicon
[Verse 4]
F#7
I can feel the bones beneath my skin
F#7
And they’re trembling with rage
F#7
I’ll make your wife a widow
F#7
You’ll never see old age
B7
Show me one good man in sight
F#7
That the sun shines down upon
C#7 B7
I pawned my watch, I paid my debts
F#7 C#7
And I crossed the Rubicon
[Verse 5]
F#7
I put my heart up on the hill
F#7
Where some happiness I’ll find
F#7
If I survive then let me love
F#7
Let the hour be mine
B7
Take the high road, take the low
F#7
Take any one you’re on
C#7 B7
I poured the cup, I passed it along
F#7
And I crossed the Rubicon
[Verse 6]
F#7
Well you defiled the most lovely flower
F#7
In all of womanhood
F#7
Others can be tolerant
F#7
Others can be good
B7
I’ll cut you up with a crooked knife
F#7
Lord, and I’ll miss you when you’re gone
C#7 B7
I stood between heaven and earth
F#7
And I crossed the Rubicon
[Verse 7]
F#7
You won’t find any happiness here
F#7
No happiness or joy
F#7
Go back to the gutter, try your luck
F#7
Find you some nice pretty boy
B7
Tell me how many men I need
F#7
And who can I count upon
C#7 B7
I strapped my belt, I buttoned my coat
F#7
And I crossed the Rubicon
[Verse 8]
F#7
I feel the Holy Spirit inside
F#7
See the light that freedom gives
F#7
I believe it’s in the reach of
F#7
Every man who lives
B7
Keep as far away as possible
F#7
It’s darkest ‘fore the dawn (O Lord)
C#7 B7
I turned the key then broke it off
F#7 C#7
And I crossed the Rubicon
[Verse 9]
F#7
Mona, baby, are you still in my mind?
F#7
I truly believe that you are
F#7
Could it be anybody else but you?
F#7
Who’s come with me this far
B7
The killing frost is on the ground
F#7
And the autumn leaves are gone
C#7 B7
I lit the torch, I looked to the East
F#7
And I crossed the Rubicon
