You used to hold me up 
                Em 
When you were younger 
Em                    C 
You had the coldest eyes 
             Em 
They put me under 
Am                    F 
You weren't they only one

verse 3 

Em                     C 
You used to stare the night 
              Em 
For distant thunder 
Em                  C 
You used to have a look 
              Em 
That made me wonder 
Am                    F 
You held the hand of death 
                    Am 
When you rode into battle 
Em                    C 
As you rode like the wind 
                       Em 
You could hear deaths rattle 

 F          G 
The wind cries 
             Am 
Dead in the saddle
