G
to be struck by the arrow of weakness
D/F# F
on the guilded path to forgiveness
C Csus2/B Am G
to find my way home when the morning comes
F C G C G
to stay your friend when it’s all said and done

G
simple as lightning starting wild fire
D/F# F
just down from a trip off my high wire
C Csus/B Am G
just coming home to walk my own floors
F C G C G
coming home to the one i adore

C Csus2/B Am C Csus2/B Am
appaloosa , appaloosa
C Csus2/B Am C Csus2/B Am
appaloosa , appaloosa
Em
take me home
G/F# G C G
where i can dream my days away

( chords are the same for the remaining verses and choruses )

we took your tears back to the river
knowing all the while there’d be more later
so it goes in a rainy day town
c’mon and won’t you let me lay you down

sometimes the sun makes beggars believers
and sometimes the shrine is built to deceivers
in between let oblivion ring
oh let me hear all you sad angels sing

appaloosa , appaloosa
appaloosa , appaloosa
take me home
where i can dream my days away

appaloosa , appaloosa
appaloosa , appaloosa
take me home
where i can dream my days away
