Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Oh  the mud splattered  victims
Have  to pay out all  along the ancient highway
Torn  between half truth  and victimisation
Fighting  back with counter  attacks
It's  when that rough god  goes riding
When  the rough god  goes gliding
And  then rough god  goes riding
Riding  on in
 I was flabbergasted by the headlines
 People in glasshouses throwing stones
 Gaping wounds that will never heal
 Now they're moaning like a dog in a manger
 It's when that rough god goes riding
 And then the rough god goes gliding
 There'll be nobody hiding
 When that rough god comes riding on in
 And it's a matter of survival
 When you're born with your back against the wall
 Won't somebody hand me a bible
 Won't you give me that number to call
 When that rough god goed riding
 And then that rough god goes gliding
 They'll be nobody hiding
 When that rough god goes riding on in
 Riding on in
 When that rough god goed riding
 When that rough god goes gliding
 There'll be nobody hiding
 When that rough god goes riding on in
 Riding on in
 There'll be no more heroes
 They'll be reduced to zero
 When that rough god goes riding
 Riding on in
 Riding on in
 Riding on in
