SONG: BEHOLD A PALE HORSE ARTIST: THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] BEHOLD A PALE HORSE THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND 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 ...FADE OUT
