Yeah I’m a midnight rider
D
Stone bonafide night flyer
Em
I’m an angel of the morning too
Em                                
The promise that the dawn will 
    D
bring you, you

[Verse 1]
D
I’m the melody and the space between
D
Every note the swallow sings
Em
I’m 14 vultures circling
A
I’m that crawling, dying thing
D
I’m the smoke up above the trees, 
Good Lord
D
The fire and the branch that’s 
burning, Lord
Em
Maybe you were sleeping, Lord,
A                                 
But Mary she’s not weeping no 
  D
more, no, mmm

[Verse 2]
D
I’m the sick light of a hurricane’s 
eye
D
I’m a violent lullaby
Em
I’m six fireflies, one streetlight
A                               D
I’m a suffocating summer night hmm 
mmm
D
I’m each of his steps on the 
stairway
D
I’m his shadow in the door frame
Em
I’m the tap tap of a lunar moth
A                                 
I’m the stale beer on his breath hmm
D
 mmm
D
His soul is trapped in that room
D
But I crawled back in my mother’s 
womb
Em
Came back out with my gold and my 
greens
A
Now I see everything
D
Now I feel everything good lord
D
What the hell could they bring to 
stop me Lord?
Em
Nothing from the earth, nothing from
 the sea
A
Not a God Almighty thing

bring you, you, you

[Verse 3]
D
I’m the wounded bird, I’m the 
screaming hawk
D
I’m the one who can’t be counted out
Em
I’m the dove thrown into battle
A                                
I can roll and shake and rattle hmmm
D
 mmm
D
I’m the moon’s dark side, I’m the 
solar flare
D
The child of the Earth, the child of
 the Air
Em
I am The Mother of the Evening Star
A
I am the Love that Conquers All
