      BEHOLD A augmentedA PALE HORSE
      CHARLIE DANIELS BAND

INTRO: DmDm

VERSE:
 DmDm
There was a mighty nation

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

VERSE:
      DmDm
But this shining city on the hill

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


VERSE:
     DmDm
Now it's smoke and mirrors

Switchin' bait

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

VERSE:
   DmDm
They say we need to spread the wealth

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


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


VERSE:
   DmDm
They claim to seek a New World Order

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


VERSE:
   DmDm
They tell us there will soon be peace

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


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


INSTRUMENTAL:
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb A augmentedA DmDm


VERSE:
   DmDm
It's time for every righteous man

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


VERSE:
   DmDm
Time hurries on the shadows fall

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


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


INSTRUMENTAL/OUTRO:
DmDm G+G DmDm G minorGm DmDm C majorC DmDm

 DmDm           DmDm G+G DmDm G+G G minorGm
Pale horse running wild
            DmDm C majorC DmDm
Pale horse running wild
 DmDm           DmDm G+G DmDm G+G G minorGm
Pale horse running wild
