You used to hold me up

When you were younger

They put me under

Em C
You used to stare the night
Em
For distant thunder
Em C
You used to have a look
Em
That made me wonder
Am F
You held the hand of death
Am
When you rode into battle
Em C
As you rode like the wind
Em
You could hear deaths rattle
[Chorus]
F G
The wind cries
Am
Dead in the saddle (4x)
