Bonnie Prince Billy - Horses Ukulele

[Verse 1]

G                               F
I'd be riding horses if they'd let me
Am                                  G
Sleep outside at night and not take fright
G                                F
I would ride the range and never worry
Am                         G
I would disappear into the night


[Chorus]

F                 Am    G
Everybody needs an angel
F               Am          G
But here's that devil by my side
F                          Am    G
Death's head ring upon his finger
F        Am             G
Poor boy hanging on the light


[Verse 2]

G                                    F
They'll be drawing straws inside the courtroom
Am                              G
As the sudden twilight turns to black
G                     F
Torches burn into the sad eyes
Am                       G
On the wrong side of the track


[Verse 3]

G                                       F
Make those horses jump through hoops of flame
Am                             G
They won't kick and they won't scream
G                        F
Let the good lord do the driving
Am                      G
Poor boy sinking in the stream


[Verse 4]

G                         F
I can smell the campfires burning
Am                            G
But I'll go out walking on my own
G                                F
By day and night the world keeps turning
Am                                G
Frightened people hiding in their homes


[Chorus]

F                 Am    G
Everybody needs an angel
F               Am          G
But here's that devil by my side
F                          Am  G
Death's head ring upon his finger
F        Am             G
Poor boy hanging on the light
