Pale Rider
Words & Music By Ricky Ross

Capo 7th Fret

G             D
Pale rider, pale rider
Em7                   Cadd9
On the horizon far away
G                   D
Grey morning, slow rising
Em7                     Cadd9
How far off is hard to say

Am                         Em7
I can hear him in the meadow
Am                                 Em7
Sometimes he crosses in the day
Am                         Em7
I mostly hear his horse in the wee small hours
F7
Then he's gone before daybreak

Pale rider, pale rider
On the horizon far away
Grey morning, slow rising
How far off is hard to say

I do not wait for his arrival
Or his low rap upon my door
I mostly see his horse turning round and heading north
Calling somewhere else for sure

Pale rider, pale rider
On the horizon far away
Grey morning, slow rising
How far off is hard to say

Cadd9                G
I think I hear you as each new year is due
             D                                    Em7
And the gateman locks up another year
Cadd9                            G
But its just the north wind passing on warnings
            D                               Em7          Cadd9
About a night and a knock so clear

Pale rider, pale rider
On the horizon far away
Grey morning, slow rising
How far off is hard to say

Pale rider's on the way
