Where Is Your Rider Chords & Lyrics - The Oh Hellos

CAPO 3

this song alternates between a few time signatures
starts in 5/4, accents on 1 and 4

[INTRO]
[Bm] [E]

[Bm]Was it you 'mid the fire and the [E]ember?
[Bm]Were you there to bedevil and [E]beguile?
[Bm]See, your face wasn't quite as I [E]remember
[Bm]But I know that wicked shape to your [E]smile

(banjo picking)

[Bm]Bury me as it pleases you, [E]lover
[Bm]At sea, or deep within the [E]catacomb
[Bm]But these bones never rested while l[E]iving
[Bm]So how can they stand to languish in [E]repose?

(this part feels like its in 6/4, but has an extra 2 beats every third measure.
basically, theres 20 beats per line)

He has [Em]thrown down the [G]cavalry as [Bm]gravel sinks
and as the [Em]stone founders u[G]nderneath the [Bm]sundered sea
of red and reed, The [Em]shadow of [G]Hades is fa[Bm]ding
For he has [Em]cast down [G]leviathan, the [Bm]tyrant, and the horse and rider

[A]oo[Bm]ooo[G]hh
[A]Where is your [Bm]ride[G]r? 2x

He will [A]hold with [Bm]all of his [G]might the [Bm]armies of n[G]ight,
Still as [A]boulders [Bm]laid to the [G]side '[Bm]til we pass [G]by
He has [A]hoisted [Bm]out of the [G]mire [Bm]every [G]child
So lift your v[A]oice with [Bm]timbrel and [G]lyre
[Bm]"We will ab[G]ide, we will a[A]bide, [Bm]we will a[G]bide"

[A]oo[Bm]ooh[G]
