Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
AmPale horse songs of a slow decline
Fmaj7Sideshow words if the songs don't mind
CG-d gave Noah the rainbow sign
Fmaj7No more water, is the H-Bomb next time?
AmPale horse vows in a grave I-do-yes-definitely reply
Fmaj7Smile for the camera at a 'church' nearby
CThrew a mute curse at the Boise sky
For my Fmaj7fucked up Napoleon-of-St.-Helena-hairline
AmBlack horse leaping when the frogs withdrew
The Fmaj7parable of the plums where the olives grew
CClouded rearrangement of sounds we knew:
An Fmaj7Idaho sunset for my own private Waterloo
AmPale horse songs of a slow decline
Fmaj7Side show words if our moms don't mind:
CCloud gave no one a rainbow sign--
Fmaj7Six-point starred ink flag next time?

AmBeasts of the Battersea Shield
At the opening of the Fmaj7fourth Dsus2seal
The Amsky, I'd been told
Would roll up like a scroll
As the Fmaj7mountaDsus2ins and islands moved from their place
And the Amsun would turn black
As a dead raven's back
But there's Fmaj7nowherDsus2e to hide
From the Judge's face
After which Ammessage-less birds take flight without cause

AmThe other night I dreamt I was finally out of college
In my Fmaj7own pair of sandals, I had turned into my father
CWhistling our tune about the Rio Grande
Like an Fmaj7anchorite in June I took hold of my own hand
And Amstarted on the Abrahamic joke we knew
About Fmaj7apostrophes and pronouns and you-remember-who
"But let's Ckeep that silly punchline between me and you
Fmaj7Little Haroon
And the man in the moon."

[Intro]

Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7

[Verse 1]

Pale horse songs of a slow decline

Fmaj7

Sideshow words if the songs don't mind

G-d gave Noah the rainbow sign

Fmaj7

No more water, is the H-Bomb next time?

Pale horse vows in a grave I-do-yes-definitely reply

Fmaj7

Smile for the camera at a 'church' nearby

Threw a mute curse at the Boise sky

Fmaj7

For my fucked up Napoleon-of-St.-Helena-hairline

Black horse leaping when the frogs withdrew

Fmaj7

The parable of the plums where the olives grew

Clouded rearrangement of sounds we knew:

Fmaj7

An Idaho sunset for my own private Waterloo

Pale horse songs of a slow decline

Fmaj7

Side show words if our moms don't mind:

Cloud gave no one a rainbow sign--

Fmaj7

Six-point starred ink flag next time?

[Instrumental]

Am Fmaj7 Dsus2

[Verse 3]

With imperial crowns we were 'sent'

Fmaj7 Dsus2

Riding out conquest-bent

Daylight is breaking

Wielding the sanctified sword

Fmaj7 Dsus2

For the army of the Scarecrow Lord

Daylight is breaking

Balancing scales at our feet

Fmaj7 Dsus2

Measuring out two pounds of barley, six pounds of buckwheat

Beasts of the Battersea Shield

Fmaj7 Dsus2

At the opening of the fourth seal

The sky, I'd been told

Would roll up like a scroll

Fmaj7 Dsus2

As the mountains and islands moved from their place

And the sun would turn black

As a dead raven's back

Fmaj7 Dsus2

But there's nowhere to hide

From the Judge's face

After which message-less birds take flight without cause

Fmaj7 Dsus2

To the silence they've heard in the absence of laws

Am Fmaj7 Dsus2

Or imperial crowns: Unsent, unsigned

[Verse 4]

The other night I dreamt I was finally out of college

Fmaj7

In my own pair of sandals, I had turned into my father

Whistling our tune about the Rio Grande

Fmaj7

Like an anchorite in June I took hold of my own hand

And started on the Abrahamic joke we knew

Fmaj7

About apostrophes and pronouns and you-remember-who

"But let's keep that silly punchline between me and you

Fmaj7

Little Haroon

And the man in the moon."
