[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
D Am
The night was cold and the wind was howling
D Am
I was awaken by the sound of hoof beats pounding.
D Am
Outside the window, on the ground, my old hound dog was growling
[Chorus]
F G Am
Grey Riders flew across my lawn
F G E
I looked again and they all were gone.
Am F
That voice was calling and it cut through the night
E
Come on boys, let her go.
[Riff #1] [Riff #2] [Riff #1] [Riff #3] [Riff #1] [Riff #4]
Am
[Verse 2]
D Am
Up on a hill they rode in one long column
D Am
They were freezing with the chills of the new day dawning.
D Am
Their hair long and grey they heard just one voice calling
[Chorus]
F G Am
Grey Riders on the morning sky,
F G E
The sun made diamonds of their road-weary eyes.
Am F
That voice was calling and it cut through the night
E
Come on boys, let her go.

The night was cold and the rain came down

Outside the window, on the ground our hound dog was whooooooo
D Am
I was awaken by the sound of hoof beats pounding.

F G Am
Grey Riders flew across my lawn
F G E
I looked again and they all were gone.
Am F
That voice was calling and it cut through the night

Come on boys, let her go.
