Bright Horses chords by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

A 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 Cm (high Eb), Bb (high D), Eb (high G), Ab (high C). The second time is Cm (high Eb), Bb (high D), Eb
(high G), Ab (high C). Very simple and nice to play tho ;)

Intro:

And the little white shape dancing at the end of the hall

Is just a wish that time can't dissolve at all
