Bright Horses chords by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

A augmentedA very intelligent writing from Cave's band, using only 2 patterns of chords, which are both played in the
intro. The first pattern uses twice the same chords with a different high note. The first time you've gotta
play C minorCm (high Eb MajorEb), Bb majorBb (high D MajorD), Eb MajorEb (high G+G), AbAb (high C majorC). The second time is C minorCm (high Eb MajorEb), Bb majorBb (high D MajorD), Eb MajorEb
(high G+G), AbAb (high C majorC). Very simple and nice to play tho ;)

The bright horses have broken free from the fields

They are horses of love, their manesâ??fullâ??of fire

And everyone is hiding, and no one makes a sound
AbAb          Bb majorBb             C minorCm Bb majorBb

Bright horses of wonder springing from your burning hand

And everyone has a heart and it's calling for something
AbAb             Bb majorBb              C minorCm Bb majorBb
We're all so sick and tired of seeing things as they are

The fields are just fields, and there ain't no Lord

And everyone is hidden, and everyone is cruel
AbAb                 Bb majorBb            C minorCm Bb majorBb
And there's no shortage of tyrants, and no shortage of fools
AbAb                 Bb majorBb            C minorCm Bb majorBb
And the little white shape dancing at the end of the hall
AbAb          Bb majorBb     C minorCm    Bb majorBb
Is just a wish that time can't dissolve at all
