[Verse 1]
D
Oh, listen poor sinner; you're driftin' away
A
From the Dear Saviour; who's pleading today
E D G
What will you do; when the Saviour ain't nigh?
D A D
When the Pale Horse and his rider goes by
[Verse 2]
D
The time now ain't long; when the Saviour will come
A
And it's then you'll be judged; by the deeds you have done
D G
On that judgement day; you'll weep and you'll cry
D A D
When the Pale Horse and his rider goes by
[Verse 3]
D
When that trumpet sounds; on the sinners below
A
Not even the angels; in heaven will know
A7 A D G
It's then's that you'll wish; you'll had Jesus nigh
D A D
When the Pale Horse and his rider goes by
[Verse 4]
D
Oh, won't you redeem; your poor wicked soul?
A
Well you can't pay your way; with silver and gold
D/A D G
If you're not saved; you'll be lost in the night
D A D
When the Pale Horse and his rider goes by?
