BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND

INTRO: Dm

VERSE:
Dm
There was a mighty nation

Blessed above all of creation
C
It was a rare and precious pearl
Bb
Conceived in faith and liberty
C
Home of the brave, land of the free
Dm
Was the envy of the world

VERSE:
Dm
But this shining city on the hill

Has turned from the creators will
C
And let evil take control
Bb
Now the reckless men who lead them
C
Want to strip away their freedom
Dm
And to steal their very soul

VERSE:
Dm
Now it's smoke and mirrors

Switchin' bait

Criticize and confiscate
C
And let the guilty walk away
Bb
In this much righteous Godly nation
C
In the halls of education
Dm
They forbid a child to pray

VERSE:
Dm
They say we need to spread the wealth

They pretend to guard the health
C
Of the feeble and the poor
Bb
While the hand they hold behind their back
C
Confuses and conceals the fact
Dm
That the wolf is at the door

CHORUS:
Dm Bb
There's an unseen hand
C Dm
That pulls the string
C
That makes his little puppets dance
Dm
To every song he sings
Bb C Dm
As the night rolls in on a rising tide
C A
Look beyond the shadows
Dm
Behold a pale horse rides

VERSE:
Dm
They claim to seek a New World Order

Nations without borders
C
But don't believe the lies
Bb
Even in this wealthy nation
C
It can come down to starvation
Dm
In the twinkling of an eye

VERSE:
Dm
They tell us there will soon be peace

Our lives will be an endless speech
C
But they lead us toward the darkness
Bb
In the distance sabres rattle
C
And the armies train for battle
Dm
As the beast prepares his mark

CHORUS:
Dm Bb
There's an unseen hand
C Dm
That pulls the string
C
And makes his little puppets dance
Dm
To any song he sings
Bb C Dm
As the night rolls in on the rising tide
C A
Look beyond the shadows
Dm
Behold a pale horse rides

INSTRUMENTAL:
Dm C Bb A Dm

VERSE:
Dm
It's time for every righteous man

To step up tall and take a stand
C
There is so little time
Bb
For if we fear and hesitate
C
Soon it will be too late
Dm
With the last hope of mankind

VERSE:
Dm
Time hurries on the shadows fall

The hand writing is on the wall
C
But even now there's still a chance
Bb
For if the ones called by Gods name
C
Repent his sin and seek His face
Dm
He will hear and heal the land

CHORUS:
Dm Bb
There's an unseen hand
C Dm
Reaching from above
C
And a gentle voice that beckons
Dm
To the shelter of his love
Bb C Dm
Come on home my wayward child
C
'Cause out on the horizon
Dm
There's a pale horse running wild
Bb C Dm
America my wayward child
C A
Can't you hear the thundering hoof beats
Dm
Of a pale horse running wild

INSTRUMENTAL/OUTRO:
Dm G Dm Gm Dm C Dm

Dm Dm G Dm G Gm
Pale horse running wild
Dm C Dm
Pale horse running wild
Dm Dm G Dm G Gm
Pale horse running wild
