Chords for John Gorka - The Flying Red Horse

_ I've always been _ attracted to music that's _ kind of personal and intimate, where you feel
like you can reach the _ performer, where there's not this _ image presented that it's kind of
larger than life. _
_ _ _ And often presented in a way that, a musical way, where it's distancing as well.
It's like a big sound where _ you don't feel like you can_
You know they're in there somewhere, but _ _ _ you don't know _ if you're hearing _ the _ artist or
you're hearing a producer's version _ of the artist's vision.
I always thought, what I liked about folk music is that I felt like you could write
a song about any part of your life.
I think it's one of the few _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ forms _ of music where a purity of expression is possible. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And one of the _ _ few places that you can find honest music.
I was always important for me, _ _ _ _ _ it was the way I reached people _ more _ _ than how many people
I reached _ with the music.
_ I was interested in going as far as I could with the kind of music I wanted to do, but _ _
_ I was not necessarily interested in _ becoming the biggest thing. _ _
_ _ I wanted to reach, _ I would rather reach a small number of people in a very strong way
than _ _ _ _ a mass audience in a superficial way. _
_ _ _ _ So I don't know if that's in the _ song or not, but this is called The Flying [D] Red Horse.
_ _ _ [G#] And this is a song about what might happen if one of the flying red horses from the [D] mobile
station should escape. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ Full [A]-serve _ [G] attendants were _ spilling [A] their hoses.
[Bm] _ _ Self [A]-serve was doing the [G] same.
_ _ [A] _ _ _
[Bm] The _ manager _ _ dialed [G] the _ [Bm] emergency [A] _ _
numbers.
[Bm] _ _ Insurance [A] man won't make [G] the claim.
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ [D] The sight of a horse [A] crossing _ highways is frightening, _ _
_ [G] but not with the breed [D] that can fly.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ She's risen [A] up to the level of oak trees, _
[G] too low [A] for the radar [D] man's eye.
_ _ [B] _ _ _
[Bm] _ I am [A] not much [G] of a _ _ joiner, [E] she _ [Bm] says.
That's not where [A] I draw my [G] strength.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _

Me, I will go [A] for the hard combination, _ _ _ [G] because I have some [D] need to belong. _
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] But I'm _ leaving this [A] unkind of sign life behind me.
[G] _ Take what [A] is mine and [D] be gone.
[A] _ _ _ [C#] _ [B] If you see _ [A] something red [G] _ flash across [A] the [F#] horizon, _ [Bm] it's not that [A] your eyes aren't [G] right. _

_ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _
Flying red horse [A] from Ruby Road _ North, [G] the car from her station [D] to the south. _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] And I swear to [A] you that the story is true.
_ _ [G] _ I [A] heard it right from her [D] mouth. _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] They will try [A] to tame [G] you, _ [A] name you, and frame [Bm] you, and you [A] where you don't [G] belong. _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ [Bm] They know where [A] you've been, but [G] _ _
[A] not where you're going, [Bm] and _ that [F#m] is the [A] source [G] of the _ [A] song.
