Chords

A very intelligent writing from Cave's band, using only 2 patterns of chords, which are both played in the intro. The first pattern uses twice the same chords with a different high note. The first time you've gotta
play Cm (high Eb), Bb (high D), Eb (high G), Ab (high C). The second time is Cm (high Eb), Bb (high D), Eb
(high Bb), Ab (high C). Very simple and nice to play tho ;)
[Intro] Cm Bb Eb Ab x2 Ab Bb Cm Bb x3 [Verse 1]
Ab                     Bb                           Cm Bb
The bright horses have broken free from the fields

Ab                       Bb                       Cm  Bb
They are horses of love, their manes full of fire

Ab                          Bb                         Cm  Bb
They are parting the cities, those bright burning horses

Ab                      Bb                        Cm Bb
And everyone is hiding, and no one makes a sound

Ab                   Bb                         Cm Bb
And I'm by your side and I'm holding your hand

Ab                                Bb        Cm      Bb
Bright horses of wonder springing from your burning hand
[Instrumental] Ab Bb Cm Bb x2 [Verse 2]
Ab                       Bb                              Cm Bb
And everyone has a heart and it's calling for something

Ab                          Bb                           Cm Bb
We're all so sick and tired of seeing things as they are

Ab                     Bb                      Cm            Bb
Horses are just horses and their manes aren't full of fire

Ab                          Bb                Cm         Bb
The fields are just fields, and there ain't no Lord

Ab                     Bb                    Cm Bb
And everyone is hidden, and everyone is cruel

Ab                                  Bb                        Cm Bb
And there's no shortage of tyrants, and no shortage of fools

Ab                                 Bb                       Cm Bb
And the little white shape dancing at the end of the hall

Ab                   Bb          Cm        Bb
Is just a wish that time can't dissolve at all
[Instrumental] Ab Bb Cm Bb x2 [Verse 3]
Cm Bb Eb Ab
Oh, oh, oh

Cm  Bb  Eb  Ab    Cm   Bb       Eb       Ab
Oh, oh, oh, well, this world is plain to see

                       Cm  Bb Eb  Ab
It don't mean we can't believe in something, and anyway

Cm Bb     Eb     Ab                            Cm Bb Eb Ab
My baby's coming back now on the next train

                                               CM     Bb    Eb Ab
I can hear the whistle blowing, I can hear the mighty roar

                                      Cm    Bb    Eb  Ab
I can hear the horses prancing in the pastures of the Lord

                            Cm  Bb       Eb      Ab
Oh the train is coming, and I'm standing here to see

                    Cm Bb Eb    Ab
And it's bringing my baby right back to me

               Cm  Bb  Eb  Ab
Well there are some things that are hard to explain

Cm Bb Eb      Ab                    Cm Bb Eb Ab
But my baby's coming home now, on the 5:30 train
[Outro] Cm Bb Eb Ab
