Cloud Riders

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

[Chorus]
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."

[Chorus]
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
