The Green Rider

Verse 

Dm                             Bb 
Soon enough the room begins to spin 
    Gm                                  A 
And all the way into the drain goes the rest of it 
    Dm                                 C 
But far beyond the space between the walls 
                           Gm 
They couldn’t find the stewardess 
  Dm 
I hope you know they won’t forget 

   B            C                       Dm 
It runs into my veins, I’m chlorinating up 
       C                   B 
And up above, the emanation of the son 
          C                           Dm 
Who thinks he’s got something to prove 

And we’re so scared of it 

      Dm      C                        B 
I defy you, keeper of the dying, I defy you 
C                              Dm 
Spinning in the night into our bedrooms 
    C                         B     C 
And telling us it’s over, I defy you 
      Dm      C                        B 
I defy you, keeper of the dying, I defy you 
C                              Dm 
Spinning in the night into our bedrooms 
    C                         B     C 
And telling us it’s over, I defy you 

Verse 

    Dm                               Bm 
Now quiet in the darkness we will wait 
Gm                             A 
One by one our bodies start to seize 
        Dm                            C 
But take my hand our lead of mine of Mystery 
              Gm                      Dm 
Don’t be afraid of it, I’ve got a plan 

    B             C                     Dm 
And down into the cove and opal of your heart 
            C                        B 
To take the key you swallowed at the start,  
  B                      C             Dm               C 
Unlock the space that lies between the walls and run on home 

      Dm      C                        B 
I defy you, keeper of the dying, I defy you 
C                              Dm 
Spinning in the night into our bedrooms 
    C                         B     C 
And telling us it’s over, I defy you 

      Dm      C                            B 
I defy you, keeper of the dying, you are unknown 
C                            Dm 
She is on her way to see the Mystery 
C                                B          C 
She will be the queen and she’ll defy you...
