Riding A Black Unicorn

Tom: Dm

C C Dm Dm C C Gm Gm

[Verse 1]
C                         Gm
A darkness falls over the land
C                    Gm
Enslaves with a wave of its hand
C            Gm
And I try to see
Am        Dm         F#m
The light through the disease
C                 Gm
I tried to get up on my feet
C                           Gm
Been so long, shackled down on my knees
C                       Gm
For somewhere deep inside, I know
Dm    
That fate favors the bold

[Chorus 1]
Bb           C                 F Am Dm
So tonight, I'm riding a black unicorn
         Bb       C          F
Down the side of an erupting volcano
     Bb  
And I drink, drink, drink
C      Bb     Dm
From a chalice filled 
Bb                C         Dm
With the laughter of small children

[Bridge]
Bb C Dm Dm

[Verse 2]
C                            Gm
When darkness is drowning your soul
C                               Gm
And makes you feel alone in the cold
C                 Gm
Find me, and grab ahold
Am            F#m
This chalice, it overflows

[Chorus 2]
Bb           C                 F Am Dm
So tonight, I'm riding a black unicorn
         Bb       C          F
Down the side of an erupting volcano
     Bb  
And I drink, drink, drink
C      Bb     Dm
From a chalice filled 
Bb                C         Dm
With the laughter of small children

[Bridge 2]
Bb C Dm Dm
Gm                    F
Lords of strength and gods of might
Gm            F
Hand over the reins
Gm              Dm
Bless our path, that tonight
C                   Am        Dm
We find the will to break these chains
Bb
And ride!

[Chorus 3]
Bb           C                 F Am Dm
So tonight, I'm riding a black unicorn
         Bb       C          F
Down the side of an erupting volcano
     Bb  
And I drink, drink, drink
C      Bb     Dm
From a chalice filled 
Bb                C         Dm
With the laughter of small children
