Intro: Am   C   F   C   G   Am 


Am 
I signed up to play and then it hit me 
C                                G 
Got a nice leather jacket but it don't quite fit me 
Am 
I welcomed back all those who quit me 
C                       G 
But I'm leavin' tonight before they come and get me 



Am 
Righteous men and scoundrels banded together to stop The Four 
C                        G 
They burned witches, they pounded nails 
         Am              G                   Am 
Then The Fifth Horseman came and tipped the scales 



Am 
Slow resistance, I have seen it 
C                      G 
Yeah, I said that too but I didn't mean it 
Am 
The word is war, you did not dream it 
C                  G 
You made the mess but I'm gonna clean it 



Am 
Righteous men and scoundrels banded together to stop The Four 
C                        G 
They burned witches, they pounded nails 
         Am              G                   Am 
Then The Fifth Horseman came and tipped the scales 



Am 
Jaw teeth as knives to snatch the greedy 
C                  G 
And plead the cause of the poor and needy 
Am 
Been savin' up to finally purchase 
C                             G 
The courage to harm those who deserve it 



Am 
Righteous men and scoundrels banded together to stop The Four 
C                        G 
They burned witches, they pounded nails  
         Am              G                   Am 
Then The Fifth Horseman came and tipped the scales 


Am 
I'm not there yet but I'm gettin' close 
C                     G 
I eat gravel at the side of the road 
Am 
I smell of blood and kerosene 
C                           G 
What's rarely done is rarely seen.
