Biography:
Bruce Randall Hornsby (born November 23, 1954 in Williamsburg, Virginia) is an American singer, virtuoso pianist, accordion player, and songwriter. He is probably best known for his 1980s signature song "The Way It Is" and the top five hits "Mandolin Rain," and "The Valley Road", all recorded as Bruce Hornsby & The Range, and for his long association with the Grateful Dead. In some of his solo albums (from 1993) he moved in a less commercial, more musically-challenging direction.

Verse:
Em G D C D
They're looking for some hired guns on the Texas border
Em G D C D
To shoot 'em all down if they try to cross over the water
Em G D C D
And they've got their old white hoods and the same old orders
Em G D C D
To keep the dark sons away from their daughters
Bridge:
Bm
The nights they came on horses
D G
Are long gone with the wind
Bm
Now they're passing out the torches
D G A
And they're coming back again
Chorus:
Em G
There's a shotgun blast
D C D
There's a secret sign
Em G D C D
It's not a candle burning and it's not a Sunday night
Em G
There's a fire on the cross
D C D
There's a fire on the cross tonight
Verse:
Em G D C D
There wasn't any sound but it felt like sudden thunder
Em G D C D
Two boards nailed together and burning bright
Em G D C D
He was walking by the window when he saw it, now he wonders
Em G
Just what he's got to do to make him see
D C D
He just want to be brothers
Bridge:

The nights they came on horses
D G

There's a fire on the cross tonight
