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