Intro:


D G Bm A
D G Bm A

Verse 1:
D            G            Bm           A
Cop-killing, coal-mining, starvation wages
    D              G              Bm        A
The end times, the headlines, the hate was contagious
    D          G             Bm           A
And when I get too high, I'm dead-eye complacent
    D           A        D        G      Bm      A
And when I need money, I take it

Verse 2:
  D                G           Bm       A
A think piece, you know me, my hat is capacious
  D             G               Bm          A
I swore she was flirting, she's just a good waitress
  D           G        Bm          A
I doubled the dosage, still I feel anxious
    D          A             D        G      Bm      A
So when I need something, I take it
Chorus:
        G          D
I don't know these horses
        Bm                      A
I don't know what they wanna be fed
        G          D          A
I don't know these horses

Verse 3:
          D          G           Bm        A
I've been cowboying, Illinoisan, fry me up bacon
     D         G             Bm        A
Been drunk and obnoxious and passively racist
     D           G                Bm             A
They lied to us, captain, they're batshit, let's face it
     D                    A           D        G      Bm      A
They don't work for their money, they take it

Verse 4:
                D            G             Bm           A
Yeah, there's a beat-down in this town, so I'm out here scrapping
   D            G          Bm            A
My chicken-feed frenzy, my working-man's fashion
   D        G         Bm          A
My underdog story is, at best, dishonest
       D           A            D        G      Bm      A
'Cause when I need something, I got it

Chorus:
        G          D
I don't know these horses
        Bm                      A
I don't know what they wanna be called
        G         D          A
I don't know these horses at all

Bridge:
   D         G               Bm          A
So when's my redemption, and who's gonna save me?
    D        G        Bm                A
And how do I start to believe something made me?
     D          G         Bm         A
That life isn't pain, and love isn't greed
        D         G            Bm             A
And the land will provide, and those sorts of things

Interlude:

D G Bm A
D G Bm A

Verse 5:
D                G           Bm         A
Here's what I'll say, if the sun now is setting
       D           G          Bm            A
If the home of the brave is a joke I'm just getting
  D             G       Bm            A
I may have been ugly, I may have been mean
    D     G          Bm           A
But I had somebody I tried to get free

Verse 6:
        D          G        Bm         A
Yeah, I rode every day from dawn until dusk
   D             G     Bm          A
To help make her way a little less rough
        D              G          Bm            A
Sure, I murdered and I stole, but don't call me evil
       D           A          D        G      Bm      A
It was mostly just money and people

Chorus:
        G          D
I don't know these horses
      Bm                       A
And I can't get them out of my head
        G          A
I don't know these goddamn horses
            G         D
And I'm not sure if I want to
      Bm                  A
Or if maybe I like it this way
        G          D        A
I don't know these horses
