[Verse 1]
Bm A7sus
Black rider, black rider, you've been living too hard
B7 Em
Been up all night, have to stay on your guard
C#7 F#
The path that you're walking, too narrow to walk
B7 Em
Every step of the way, another stumbling block
Bm F#7
The road that you're on, same road that you know
Ddim F#7 Bm F#7 Bm F#7
Just not the same as it was a minute ago
[Verse 2]
Bm A7sus
Black rider, black rider, you've seen it all
B7 Em
You've seen the great world and you've seen the small
C#7 F#
You fell into the fire and you're eating the flame
B7 E
Better seal up your lips if you wanna stay in the game
Em D
Be reasonable, mister, be honest, be fair
C#7 F# Bm A7sus Bm E6sus
Let all of your earthly thoughts be a prayer

Bm A7sus
Black rider, black rider, all dressed in black
Em Bm
I'm walking away, you try to make me look back
G D
My heart is at rest, I'd like to keep it that way
C#7 F#
I don't wanna fight, at least not today
B A7sus
Go home to your wife, stop visiting mine
Bdim F#
One of these days I'll forget to be kind
[Verse 4]
Bm A7sus
Black rider, black rider, tell me when, tell me how
B7 Em
If there ever was a time, then let it be now
C#7 F#
Let me go through, open the door
B7 E
My soul is distressed, my mind is at war
Em F#7
Don't hug me, don't flatter me, don't turn on the charm
C# F# Bm A7sus Bm E6sus
I'll take a sword and hack off your arm
[Verse 5]
Bm A7sus
Black rider, black rider, hold it right there
Em Bm
The size of your cock will get you nowhere
G D
I'll suffer in silence, I'll not make a sound
C#7 F#
Maybe I'll take the high moral ground
F#dim A
Some enchanted evening I'll sing you a song

Black rider, black rider,
F# Bm
you've been on the job too long
[Outro]
Bm F#7 Bm F#7 Dm
