SONG: BEHOLD A PALE HORSE ARTIST: THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] INTRO: Dm VERSE:

 Dm
There was a mighty nation

Blessed above all of creation

          C
It was a rare and precious pearl

              Bb
Conceived in faith and liberty

              C
Home of the brave, land of the free

         Dm
Was the envy of the world

VERSE:

           Dm
But this shining city on the hill

Has turned from the creators will

         C
And let evil take control

         Bb
Now the reckless men who lead them

          C
Want to strip away their freedom

        Dm
And to steal their very soul

VERSE:

          Dm
Now it's smoke and mirrors

Switchin' bait Criticize and confiscate

             C
And let the guilty walk away

               Bb
In this much righteous Godly nation

         C                        
In the halls of education 

        Dm
They forbid a child to pray

VERSE:

     Dm
They say we need to spread the wealth

They pretend to guard the health

         C
Of the feeble and the poor

           Bb                          
While the hand they hold behind their back

    C
Confuses and conceals the fact

          Dm
That the wolf is at the door

CHORUS:

 Dm                Bb
There's an unseen hand

      C          Dm
That pulls the string

       C
That makes his little puppets dance

                  Dm
To every song he sings

                   Bb       C      Dm
As the night rolls in on a rising tide

 C                      A
Look beyond the shadows

                     Dm
Behold a pale horse rides

VERSE:

     Dm
They claim to seek a New World Order

Nations without borders

     C
But don't believe the lies

     Bb
Even in this wealthy nation

             C
It can come down to starvation

        Dm
In the twinkling of an eye

VERSE:

      Dm
They tell us there will soon be peace

Our lives will be an endless speech

      C
But they lead us toward the darkness

        Bb
In the distance sabres rattle

         C
And the armies train for battle

        Dm
As the beast prepares his mark

CHORUS:

 Dm                Bb
There's an unseen hand

      C          Dm
That pulls the string

      C
And makes his little puppets dance

                Dm
To any song he sings

                   Bb         C      Dm
As the night rolls in on the rising tide

 C                      A
Look beyond the shadows

                     Dm
Behold a pale horse rides

INSTRUMENTAL: Dm C Bb A Dm VERSE:

      Dm
It's time for every righteous man

To step up tall and take a stand

  C
There is so little time

           Bb
For if we fear and hesitate

         C
Soon it will be too late

          Dm
With the last hope of mankind

VERSE:

      Dm
Time hurries on the shadows fall

The hand writing is on the wall

     C
But even now there's still a chance

            Bb
For if the ones called by Gods name

            C
Repent his sin and seek His face

         Dm
He will hear and heal the land

CHORUS:

 Dm                Bb
There's an unseen hand

          C     Dm
Reaching from above

        C
And a gentle voice that beckons 

         Dm
To the shelter of his love

         Bb      C       Dm
Come on home my wayward child

        C
'Cause out on the horizon

           Dm
There's a pale horse running wild

    Bb      C       Dm
America my wayward child

       C                                  A
Can't you hear the thundering hoof beats

                         Dm
Of a pale horse running wild

INSTRUMENTAL/OUTRO: Dm G Dm Gm Dm C Dm

 Dm                     Dm G Dm G Gm
Pale horse running wild

                        Dm C Dm
Pale horse running wild

 Dm                     Dm G Dm G Gm
Pale horse running wild
