Tom Morello - The Fifth Horseman Of The Apocalypse Chords

Capo 2nd

Dead saint on my necklace
Whiskey in my hand
Razor in my pocket
Baby, I'm your man


Am   C   F   C   G   Am


Am
I signed up to play and then it hit me
C                                G
Got a nice leather jacket but it don't quite fit me
Am
I welcomed back all those who quit me
C                       G
But I'm leavin' tonight before they come and get me



Am
Righteous men and scoundrels banded together to stop The Four
C                        G
They burned witches, they pounded nails
         Am              G                   Am
Then The Fifth Horseman came and tipped the scales



Am
Slow resistance, I have seen it
C                      G
Yeah, I said that too but I didn't mean it
Am
The word is war, you did not dream it
C                  G
You made the mess but I'm gonna clean it



Am
Righteous men and scoundrels banded together to stop The Four
C                        G
They burned witches, they pounded nails
         Am              G                   Am
Then The Fifth Horseman came and tipped the scales



Am
Jaw teeth as knives to snatch the greedy
C                  G
And plead the cause of the poor and needy
Am
Been savin' up to finally purchase
C                             G
The courage to harm those who deserve it



Am
Righteous men and scoundrels banded together to stop The Four
C                        G
They burned witches, they pounded nails 
         Am              G                   Am
Then The Fifth Horseman came and tipped the scales


Am
I'm not there yet but I'm gettin' close
C                     G
I eat gravel at the side of the road
Am
I smell of blood and kerosene
C                           G
What's rarely done is rarely seen.
