Pale Rider
Words & Music By Ricky Ross

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

Em                         Bm
I can hear him in the meadow
Em                                 Bm
Sometimes he crosses in the day
Em                            Bm
I mostly hear his horse in the wee small hours
C                                     Bm
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

G                            D
I think I hear you as each new year is due
             A                                    Bm
And the gateman locks up another year
G                                    D
But its just the north wind passing on warnings
            A                               Bm             G
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
