[Verse]
Am             D   C    Am
I've seen that boneyard rider
Am       D              Am
A shadow black like the night
Am     F                      C    Am    Em       G
And he cried, "'pon earth and sky, tread lighter
Dm        D
Lest your way
           Am
I soon may ride"

Am            D     C         Am
He passed his hand 'cross the water
Am             D               Am
And turned his face toward the sun
Am     F                 C   D    Em     G
And he cried, "So I, the boneyard rider
Dm       D
Swear by blood and fire
           Am
My will be done."

[Verse]
Am            D   C   Am
We burned our bridges brighter
Am           D           Am
And cast our dead out to sea
Am    F                     C  D    Em     G
And I cried, "Oh, damned am I, dark rider
Dm        D
Don't you show
   Am
No mercy?"

Am           D      Am
You see that comin' fire
Am         D             Am
"Vengeance mine," sayeth he
Am     F              C   Dm   Em     G
And to die beside the boneyard rider
Dm      D
Such is doom
       Am
And destiny
