Pale White Horse

intro
ooooh
Bm

Bm        G             A
Down they fell like the children of Eden
Bm        G             A
Down they fell like the tower
        G6      Bm            E
As the land relinquished her ghost


Bm        G6           A
Heed the sirens, take shelter, my lover
Bm       G6         A
Flee the fire that devours
        G6             Bm7
But the sight held me fixed
       G6       A              Em Bm G6
Like a bayonet against my throat  (ooooh)


Bm      G                A
Neither plague or famine tempered my courage
Bm      G             A
Nor did raids make me cower
        G6           Bm
But his translucent skin
        G6               A
Made me shiver deep within my bones

Em Bm G6
ooooh

         Bm         A
It was a pale white horse
       Bm       A
With a crooked smile
      Bm7      A      G6
And I knew it was my time

A Bm G6
ooooh

A Bm G6
ooooh

           Bm     A
It was the raging storm
     Bm      A
Of a foreign war
      Bm       A      G6
And a face I'd seen before

A Bm G6
ooooh (x5)
