[Intro]
C7

[Verse 1]
                        G7
I crossed the Rubicon on the 14th day
                     G7
Of the most dangerous month of the year
G7
At the worst time, at the worst place
G7
That’s all I seem to hear
C7                                                                        G7
I got up early so I could greet the goddess of the dawn
D7                                                       C7
I painted my wagon, abandoned all hope
                                         G7
And I crossed the Rubicon 

[Verse 2]
                 G7
Well, the Rubicon is a red river
           G7
Going gently as she flows
G7
Redder than your ruby lips
              G7
And the blood that flows from the rose
C7
Three miles north of purgatory
                                           G7
One step from the great beyond
D7                                                     C7
I prayed to the cross, I kissed the girls
                                       G7
And I crossed the Rubicon?

[Verse 3]
                       G7
One of these dark days I’ll see
            G7
In this world so badly bent
 G7
How can I redeem the time
                     G7
The time so idly spent
                  C7                                                     G7
How much longer can it last? How long can it go on
D7                                                         C7
I embraced my love, put down my head?
                                           G7
And I crossed the Rubicon 

[Verse 4]
           G7
I can feel the bones beneath my skin 
                                     G7
And they’re trembling with rage
G7
I’ll make your wife a widow
G7
You’ll never see old age
C7
Show me one good man in sight
                                             G7
That the sun shines down upon
D7                                                    C7
I pawned my watch, I paid my debts
                                         G7 D7
And I crossed the Rubicon

[Verse 5]
                  G7
I put my heart up on the hill
                     G7
Where some happiness I’ll find
G7
If I survive then let me love
G7
Let the hour be mine
C7
Take the high road, take the low
                                 G7
Take any one you’re on
D7                                                 C7
I poured the cup, I passed it along
                                         G7
And I crossed the Rubicon

[Verse 6]
                   G7
Well you defiled the most lovely flower
G7
In all of womanhood
G7
Others can be tolerant
G7
Others can be good
C7
I’ll cut you up with a crooked knife
                                                         G7
Lord, and I’ll miss you when you’re gone
D7                                                  C7
I stood between heaven and earth
                                          G7
And I crossed the Rubicon

[Verse 7]
                 G7
You won’t find any happiness here
G7
No happiness or joy
G7
Go back to the gutter, try your luck
G7
Find you some nice pretty boy
C7
Tell me how many men I need
                                   G7
And who can I count upon
D7                                                       C7
I strapped my belt, I buttoned my coat
                                G7
And I crossed the Rubicon?

[Verse 8]
              G7
I feel the Holy Spirit inside
              G7
See the light that freedom gives
G7
I believe it’s in the reach of
G7
Every man who lives
C7
Keep as far away as possible
                                  G7
It’s darkest ‘fore the dawn (O Lord)
                    D7                          C7
I turned the key then broke it off
                                         G7 D7
And I crossed the Rubicon?

[Verse 9]
G7
Mona, baby, are you still in my mind
G7
I truly believe that you are
G7
Could it be anybody else but you
G7
Who’s come with me this far
C7
The killing frost is on the ground
                                             G7
And the autumn leaves are gone
D7                                                C7
I lit the torch, I looked to the East
                                         G7
And I crossed the Rubicon??
