Chords

[Verse 1] E
B                                       E
Well they were given the grapes that go ripe in the sun

B                             E
That loosen the screws at the back of the tongue

B                     E
But they told no one where they had begun

E
Four horsemen

B                                E
They were given all the foods of vanity

B                               E
And all the instant promises of immortality

B                               E
But they bit the dust screamin' insanity!

E
Four horsemen

B                      E
One was over the edge, one was over the cliff

B                       E
One was lickin' 'em dry with a bloody great spliff

B                             E
When they picked up the hiker he didn't want the lift

E
From the horsemen
[Chorus]
E
But you!

A          B                  E
You're not searching, are you now?

A          B          E
You're not looking anyhow

A            B                      E
You're never gonna ride that lonely mile

A          B          E
Or put yourself up on trial

A       B                            E
Oh, you told me how your life was so bad

A       B                     E
An' I agree that it does seem sad

A          B                        E
But that's the price that you gotta pay

A          B                    E
If you're lazing all around all day

A              B           E
Four horsemen coming right through

A             B                      E
Four horsemen and they're pissing by you

A         B                              E
They make you look like you're wearing a truss

A             B                 E
Four horsemen and it's gonna be us
[Verse 2]
B                            E
Well they gave us everything for bending the mind

B                                E
And we cleaned out their pockets and we drank 'em blind

B                             E
It's a long way to the finish so don't get left behind

E
By those horsemen

B                                     E
And they gave us the grapes that went ripe in the sun

B                             E
That loosen the screws at the back of the tongue

B                          E
But we still told nothing 'bout what was to come

E
Four horsemen
