Cloud Riders

	  		
verse 1 

Cm                A# 
Standing on the edge of the cliff 
G#                     A# 
Didn’t think it would come to this 
Cm            A# 
A dead calm before the storm 
Fm                  A# 
Not a sound from their engines 
Cm                                           A#   G# 
From the other side, saw a shooting star at 4:22 a.m 

verse 2 
Cm                       A# 
A warning shot from the rhythm demons 
G#             A# 
Or from the guitar preachers 
Cm         A# 
I’ve been touched by both 
Fm          A#   Cm 
And by the Holy Ghost 
                                              A#  G# 
From the other side, saw a shooting star at 4:22 a.m 

 
C                E 
Underneath the stars above 
   F         Fm 
I said, "No stop 
C              E 
I am not giving up on us." 
C                   E 
And I am not going anywhere soon 
F                  Fm 
Annie, grab your bass guitar 
C                       E 
Help me bring in the October moon 
F 
Then you shout, "Run for cover." 
D            G# 
I scream, "Rev the Triumph’s engine." 
E                     Am 
You say "Baby we’re too late 
           G#                C 
From the Cloud Riders, no escape." 
G         Em          Am 
Darling, what’s the blanket for? 
                F 
Riding out this storm 
          Gm              C    G# A# Gm 
We’ll be riding out this storm 


verse 3 
Cm              A# 
Carved a stave against the grain 
G#              A# 
At the nine doors to gain 
Cm              A# 
The secrets of trees 
Fm           A# 
Once I could hear them singing 
Cm 
From the other side 

verse 4 
                     A# 
Back then, the thunder gods 
G#              A# 
They used to cast our lots 
Cm         A# 
But then I lost touch 
Fm                   A# 
Close to when her chariot 
Cm 
From the other side 

Verse 5 
A# 
A chariot pulled by cats 
Fm              A# 
Purring, "we'll be returning." 
Cm           G# 
From the other side 
Cm                A#        G# 
"Girl, it’s time you take back your life." 

 
C                E 
Underneath the stars above 
   F         Fm 
I said, "No stop 
C              E 
I am not giving up on us." 
C                   E 
And I am not going anywhere soon 
F                  Fm 
Annie, grab your bass guitar 
C                       E 
Help me bring in the October moon

Then you shout, "Run for cover." 
D            G# 
I scream, "Rev the Triumph’s engine." 
E                     Am 
You say "Baby we’re too late 
           G#                C 
From the Cloud Riders, no escape." 
G         Em          Am 
Darling, what’s the blanket for? 
                F 
Riding out this storm 
          Gm              C    G# A# Gm 
We’ll be riding out this storm
