Dm A7
Black rider, black rider, you've been living too hard
D7 Gm
Been up all night, have to stay on your guard
E7/D A/C#
The path that you're walking, too narrow to walk
D7/C Gm/Bb
Every step of the way, another stumbling block
Dm/A A7
The road that you're on, same road that you know
Dm6/A A Dm A/D Dm A/D
Just not the same as it was ... a minute ago
Dm A7
Black rider, black rider, you've seen it all
D7 Gm
You've seen the great world and you've seen the small
E7/D A/C#
You fell into the fire and you're eating the flame
D7/C G/B
Better seal up your lips if you wanna stay in the game
Bb F/A
Be reasonable, mister, be honest, be fair
E/G# A Dm A/D Dm A/D
Let all of your earthly thoughts be a prayer
Dm A7
Black rider, black rider, all dressed in black
Gm Dm
I'm walking away, you try to make me look back
Bb F/A
My heart is at rest, I'd like to keep it that way
E/G# A
I don't wanna fight, at least not today
D Em7b5
Go home to your wife, stop visiting mine
Dm/A A7 Dm A/D Dm A/D
One of these days I'll forget to be kind
Dm A7
Black rider, black rider, tell me when, tell me how
D7 Gm
If there ever was a time, then let it be now
E7/D A/C#
Let me go through, open the door
D7/C G/B
My soul is distressed, my mind is at war
Bb6 A
Don't hug me, don't flatter me, don't turn on the charm
E7 A Dm A/D Dm A/D
I'll take a sword and hack off your arm
Dm A7
Black rider, black rider, hold it right there
Gm Dm
The size of your cock will get you nowhere
Bb F/A
I'll suffer in silence, I'll not make a sound
E/G# A
Maybe I'll take the high moral ground
Ab/A A7
Some enchanted evening I'll sing you a song
Dm/A
Black rider, black rider,
A Dm A7/D Dm A7/D Dm
You've been on the job too long
