C#m E
Lumberjack's looking out for trees
C#m E
choppin' days out of centuries

But you get them on their knees
A B A
Cause they ain't so tough I heard things about 'em

why have a soul when it's yours to lose

you gotta pick your fight you got work to do

In their minds they're never late

Cause there ain't no-one that is waiting for them

Pale riders in a lonely nest
C#m E
I bet the spanish have a word for this
