The Saga Of Pepote Rouge Lyrics

    4 measures of g piano licks

    G g/f |g/e g/d |
    There's a legend of a lady on the mountain
    G g/f |c/e d |
    Who lives alone beyond the mecca plain
    G g/f |g/e g/d |
    And with her hands she makes it through the winter
    C / / / |a- d |
    She never goes against the grain

    To be someone is to be someone alone
    To be someone is known as solitude
    To learn to sing below the surface
    You must adjust your altitude

    C d |g |
    Break the news, pepote rouge is coming to town
    C d |g |
    We stand accused, pepote rouge, of bein' hellbound
    C d |g e- |
    She had a vision, and now she holds the key
    C / / /b |a- d |
    You don't know what you want, 'til you find out what you need.

    Intro

    I was stranded on the damn coast when a lady
    Called to me in a voice so soft and low
    Her words resounded like a fountain of truth
    And then she faded like a rainbow

    Her golden spaceship with the mother of the earth
    Carved in stone, the queen of avatars
    Where seventy children were given birth
    She then returned back to the stars

    Break the news, pepote rouge is coming to town
    We stand accused, pepote rouge, of bein' hellbound
    She can help us find our way and get across
    You don't know what you gained 'til you find out what you lost.

    Intro

    Pepote rouge come down from the mountain
    And lead our people into the light of day
    For they are lost and know not where they're goin'
    And all their leaders are cast in clay

    Now disbelief and mass confusion
    Spreading wild across the land
    You can call it love or call it wisdom
    To be not savin' a drowning man.

    Break the news, pepote rouge is coming to town
    We stand accused, pepote rouge, of bein' hellbound
    She can show us just where we went wrong
    You don't know where you're goin' 'til you find where you belong.
