           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
