Hammer-on the C chords.
In the chorus the run leading up to the C chord goes (E3 A0 A2).
As he laid Spanish roses in her hair
And then covered the crown of thorns she wears
And the blood from her lips as she sings
Do it all for the glory of thee
And they carried her down, down, down
Down in the cold, cold, ground
By the river she used to pray
Forever now she will wait for the king to come
And the boys who would crave her perfect skin
She burned herself, she thought it would please him
And the iron chain spiked around her waist
And the poison she used to hide her face
refrain:
And they carried her down, down, down
Down in the cold, cold, ground
By the river she used to pray
Forever now she will wait for the king to come
And she made a bed of broken glass and stone
Where she slept at night to prove her faith was strong
And when her broken body finally gave
There grew Spanish roses by her grave
And they carried her down, down, down
Down in the cold, cold, ground
By the river she used to pray
Forever now she will wait for the king to come
