"When?" said the moon to the stars in the sky,
Em                         G
"Soon.” said the wind that followed him home,
C                          G
"Who?" said the cloud that started to cry,
Dsus4                   G
"Me.” said the rider as dry as a bone.
 
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7                    G
"Who?" said the sun that melted the ground,
Cmaj7                        G
"Why?" said the river that refused to run,
C                             G
"Where?" said the thunder without a sound,
Dsus4                      G
"Here.” said the rider and took up his gun.
 
[Verse 3]
Em                          G
"No.” said the stars to the moon in the sky,
Em                        G
"No.” said the trees that started to moan,
C                        G
"No.” said the dust that blinded his eyes,
Dsus4                    G
"Yes.” said the rider as white as a bone.
 
[Verse 4]
Cmaj7                    G
"No.” said the moon that rose from his sleep,
Cmaj7                     G
"No.” said the cry of the dying sun,
C                           G
"No.” said the planets that started to weep,
Dsus4                     G
"Yes.” said the rider and laid down his gun.
