Wild Horses

Intro:  G///  C/// 2Xs

Verse 1:

G                                                             Cadd9

You’ve been riding your pretty white stallion

                                                         G

I’ve been walking my spotted grey mare

                                                                Cadd9

There are oceans and deserts between us

                                                              G

But our lungs are filled with the same air

                                                         Cadd9

Our lungs are filled with the same air

G                                        Cadd9

Last night I went into the city

                                            G

To get drunk alone on the street

                                                      Cadd9

No I didn’t see the second swing comin’

                                                            G

But at least, this time I stayed on my feet

                                        Cadd9 no5

This time I stayed on my feet.

Chorus:

Em                                                    C

And I witnessed all your countries crumble

                                           Em

While I camp alone in the night

                                                            C

This modern world ain’t nothin’ but trouble

                                                 A7

But at least I can read by the light

                                            Cadd9 no5

Of your cities that burn so bright.

Verse 2:

G                              Cadd9

Cast off all of your reflections

                                               G

‘cos all of those mirrors tell lies

                                                            Cadd9

This world may disintegrate beneath us

                                                   G

But by then, we will be able to fly

                               Cadd9

We will be able to fly.

Back to Chorus

Bridge:

G

I can smell that storm a-comin’

                                                      Cadd9

You’re comin’ like a banshee will scream

            G

In the absence of nothin’

                                                      Cadd9

My fists start to clench and then bleed, bleed, bleed

Back to Chorus

Verse 3:

G                                                        Cadd9

You’ve been riding my old painted pony

                                                      G

I’ve been walking your shiny nightmare

                                                Cadd9

The blood in our hearts begin pulsing

                                                                   G

To the rhythm and the thoughts that we share

                                                                               Cadd9

To the rhythm and the thoughts that we share

*fingerpick*  Cadd9 no5       Cmaj7
