Chords

[Intro] Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 [Verse 1]
Am
Pale horse songs of a slow decline

Fmaj7
Sideshow words if the songs don't mind

C
G-d gave Noah the rainbow sign

Fmaj7
No more water, is the H-Bomb next time?

Am
Pale horse vows in a grave I-do-yes-definitely reply

Fmaj7
Smile for the camera at a 'church' nearby

C
Threw a mute curse at the Boise sky

       Fmaj7
For my fucked up Napoleon-of-St.-Helena-hairline

Am
Black horse leaping when the frogs withdrew

    Fmaj7
The parable of the plums where the olives grew

C
Clouded rearrangement of sounds we knew:

   Fmaj7
An Idaho sunset for my own private Waterloo

Am
Pale horse songs of a slow decline

Fmaj7
Side show words if our moms don't mind:

C
Cloud gave no one a rainbow sign--

Fmaj7
Six-point starred ink flag next time?

       Am
With imperial crowns we were 'sent'

           Fmaj7 Dsus2
Riding out conquest-bent
Daylight is breaking
Am
Wielding the sanctified sword

                    Fmaj7 Dsus2
For the army of the Scarecrow Lord
Daylight is breaking
Am
Balancing scales at our feet

              Fmaj7 Dsus2
Measuring out two pounds of barley, six pounds of buckwheat

Am
Beasts of the Battersea Shield

                      Fmaj7 Dsus2
At the opening of the fourth seal

    Am
The sky, I'd been told
Would roll up like a scroll
       Fmaj7 Dsus2
As the mountains and islands moved from their place

        Am
And the sun would turn black
As a dead raven's back
            Fmaj7 Dsus2
But there's nowhere to hide
From the Judge's face
            Am
After which message-less birds take flight without cause

       Fmaj7 Dsus2
To the silence they've heard in the absence of laws

   Am                                 Fmaj7 Dsus2
Or imperial crowns: Unsent, unsigned
[Verse 4]
Am
The other night I dreamt I was finally out of college

      Fmaj7
In my own pair of sandals, I had turned into my father

C
Whistling our tune about the Rio Grande

        Fmaj7
Like an anchorite in June I took hold of my own hand

    Am
And started on the Abrahamic joke we knew

      Fmaj7
About apostrophes and pronouns and you-remember-who

           C
"But let's keep that silly punchline between me and you

Fmaj7
Little Haroon
And the man in the moon." [Outro] Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 Am
