C#You make up your mind  you choose the F#chance you take
You ride to where the C#highway ends and the G#desert breaks
Out on to an C#open road you ride F#until the day
You learn to C#sleep at night G#with the C#price you pay
Now with their hands held high,
they reached out for the F#open skies
And then with tC#heir last breath they built the roads
They would G#ride to their deaths
Driving on tC#hrough the night, unable to  F#break away
>From the C#restless pull G#of the F#price you pay
Oh, the C#price you pay, oh, the F#price you pay
Now you can't C#walk away fG#rom the C#price you payF#  
C#Now they'd come so far and they'd F#waited so long
Just to end up C#caught in a dream where  everythG#ing goes wrong
Where the C#dark of night holds back the F#light of the day
And you've gotta sC#tand and fight G#for the F#price you pay
Oh, the C#price you pay, oh, the F#price you pay
Now you can't C#walk away fG#rom the C#price you payF#  
SOLO
C#Little girl down on the strand
With that pretty little baby F#in your hands
Do you C#remember the story of the  G#promised land
How he crossed the dC#esert sands
And could not enter the F#chosen land
On the banks of the C#river he stayed
G#To face the C#price you pay
So let the games start, you better run you little F#wild heart
You can C#run through all the nights and all the G#days
But just across the C#county line,
A stranger  passing through pF#ut up a sign
That counts so many C#fallen away G#to the F#price you pay,
Oh, the C#price you pay, oh, the F#price you pay
Now you can't C#walk away fG#rom the F#price you pay
Oh, the C#price you pay, oh, the F#price you pay

Subject: CRD: The Price You Pay Emmylou Harris Chords/Lyrics

C# F#

You make up your mind you choose the chance you take

C# G#

You ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaks

C# F#

Out on to an open road you ride until the day

C# G# C#

You learn to sleep at night with the price you pay

Now with their hands held high,

they reached out for the open skies

And then with their last breath they built the roads

They would ride to their deaths

C# F#

Driving on through the night, unable to break away

C# G# F#

>From the restless pull of the price you pay

C# F#

Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay

C# G# C# F#

Now you can't walk away from the price you pay

C# F#

Now they'd come so far and they'd waited so long

C# G#

Just to end up caught in a dream where everything goes wrong

C# F#

Where the dark of night holds back the light of the day

C# G# F#

And you've gotta stand and fight for the price you pay

C# F#

Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay

C# G# C# F#

Now you can't walk away from the price you pay

SOLO

Little girl down on the strand

With that pretty little baby in your hands

C# G#

Do you remember the story of the promised land

How he crossed the desert sands

And could not enter the chosen land

On the banks of the river he stayed

G# C#

To face the price you pay

So let the games start, you better run you little wild heart

C# G#

You can run through all the nights and all the days

But just across the county line,

A stranger passing through put up a sign

C# G# F#

That counts so many fallen away to the price you pay,

C# F#

Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay

C# G# F#

Now you can't walk away from the price you pay

C# F#

Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay

C# G# F# C# F# C#

Now you can't walk away from the price you pay
