 Capo 4
 // Intro
 C  C/B  Am7  (2x)
 Em
 // Verse
         C     C/B   Am7
 This is not a rebel song
      C     C/B   Am7
 It's not a rebel song
          Em
 But I am bleeding
 
           C          C/B       Am
 He said I crawled on hands and knees
   C         C/B      Am
 I pushed my way thru brush and trees
       C        C/B          Am
 But a deaf man sees what he wants to see
             Em           D
 While he is reading
 
 // Refrain
 G                 C
   Six o'clock and all is well tonight
 G                           C
   I saw a horseman -- he was bloodied from the fight
 Em                         C
   He read thru pages as he tried to warn us all
 Em                        C        D
   He gave up and left the writings on the wall
 
 C  C/B  Am7  (2x)
 Em
 
 // Verse
 So we gathered 'round the square
 Multitudes of empty stares
 Well, we couldn't admit that we were scared
 Of his revelation
 
 So we came in from the cold
 Ignoring what we had been told
 Reaping what we shouldn't have sown
 Like devastation
 
 // Repeat refrain
 C  C/B  Am7  (2x)
 Em
 
 Now upon us comes the siege
 So much smoke it's hard to breathe
 Well, someone call the cavalry
 It's too late -- we're choking
 
 Well, it comes as no surprise
 The horseman wasn't telling lies
 But we all chose to criticize
 Well, he wasn't joking (too late)
 
 // Repeat refrain (2x)
