Riding A Black Unicorn
View chords used in this chart
Dm Am
A darkness falls over the land
Dm Am
Enslaves with a wave of its hand
Dm Am
And I try to see
E B7
The light through the disease
Dm Am
I tried to get up on my feet
Dm Am
Been so long, shackled down on my knees
Dm Am
For somewhere deep inside, I know
E B7
That fate favors the bold
C D G C
So tonight, I'm riding a black unicorn
C D G
Down the side of an erupting volcano
C C D D
And I drink, drink, drink
G C
From a chalice filled
C D Em
With the laughter of small children
Dm Am
When darkness is drowning your soul
Dm Am
And makes you feel alone in the cold
Dm Am
Find me, and grab ahold
E B7
This chalice, it overflows
C D G C
So tonight, you're riding a black unicorn
C D G
Down the side of an erupting volcano
C C D
And you drink, drink, drink
G C
From a chalice filled
C D Em
With the laughter of small children
Am G
Lords of strength and gods of might
Am G
Hand over the reins
Am G
Bless our path, that tonight
D B7
We find the will to break these chains
C
And ride!
C D G C
So tonight, we're riding our black unicorns
C D G
Down the side of an erupting volcano
C C D
And we drink, drink, drink
G C
From a chalice filled
C D Em
With the laughter of small children
C D Em
And the blood and tears of our enemies
