Am
While the day's time was resting
         G       Am
I'd ride in on nights
         Am
And I'd spill all their blood
            G          Am
Before the waking of light

C
Finished with reaping
     G         Am
I'd ride out again
           Am              C
While they cry with their children
     G          Am
And bury their men

Am             G                   Am
A beguiler of women, I'd settle for none
       Am                          G             Am
I took daughters from fathers, left mothers with sons
C                       G             Am
Consumed by glory and thirsting with lust
Am                    C             G        Am
In the end all those things turn to ashes or dust

                  F
And weight in my lungs
                  Am
Oh, weight in my lungs

( F  C  G  Am )
( F  C  G  Am )
( C  G  Am )
( F  C  G  Am )

Am                      G      Am
Men tried to struggle, women appease
                Am           G         Am
Children would fall down to grovel and plead
   C                     G          Am
Drowning in prayer and full of mistrust
        C                               G       Am
In the end all those things turned to ashes or dust

                 F
And weight in my lungs
                 Am
Oh, weight in my lungs
