Where Is Your Rider

intro
Bm E

Bm                               
Was it you 'mid the fire and the 
E
ember?
Bm                          
Were you there to bedevil and 
  E
beguile?
Bm                               
See, your face wasn't quite as I 
E
remember
Bm                                
But I know that wicked shape to 
   E
your smile

(banjo picking)

Bm                         E
Bury me as it pleases you, lover
Bm                         E
At sea, or deep within the catacomb

Bm                                
But these bones never rested while
  E
 living
Bm                                
So how can they stand to languish 
   E
in repose?

(this part feels like its in 6/4, 
but has an extra 2 beats every third
 measure.
basically, theres 20 beats per line)

       Em              G          
He has thrown down the cavalry as 
Bm
gravel sinks
           Em              G      
and as the stone founders 
       Bm
underneath the sundered sea
                     Em        G  
of red and reed, The shadow of 
        Bm
Hades is fading
           Em        G            
For he has cast down leviathan, 
  Bm
the tyrant, and the horse and rider

A Bm G
ooooohh
A             Bm  G
Where is your rider? 2x

        A         Bm         G   
He will hold with all of his 
      Bm         G
might the armies of night,
         A        Bm          G  
Still as boulders laid to the 
   Bm          G
side 'til we pass by
       A       Bm         G    
He has hoisted out of the mire 
Bm    G
every child
              A         Bm        
So lift your voice with timbrel 
  G
and lyre
Bm         G             A     
"We will abide, we will abide, 
Bm       G
we will abide"

A Bm G
ooooh
