[Intro]
C G C G
x2
[Verse 1]
C
We rode into battle barebacked and saddled
G
You took the wound in your side
Dm G
You pulled the sleds and you pulled the wagons
C G C G
You gave 'em somewhere to hide
C
Now they don't need you and there's no one to feed you
F
And there's fences where you used to roam
C
I wish I could gather up all of your brothers
G7 C G C G
And you would just ride me back home
[Chorus]
F
Ride me back home to a much better place
G
Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space
F
Somewhere where they would just leave you alone
C G
Somewhere that you could call home
G7 C G C G
And you would just ride me back home
[Interlude]
C G C G
[Verse 2]
C
I got a small place up in the foothills
G
Where green grass is precious as gold
Dm G
I paid a fortune for what little I got here
C G C G
But you know that I'd sell my soul
C
To have all the mountains, the rivers and valleys
F
The places where you need to roam
C
And I would just gather up all of your brothers
G7 C G C G
And you would just ride me back home
[Chorus]
F
Ride me back home to a much better place
G
Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space
F
Somewhere where they would just leave you alone
C G
Somewhere that you could call home
G7 C G
And you would just ride me back home
[Chorus]
F
Ride me back home to a much better place
G
Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space
F
Somewhere where they would just leave you alone
C G
Somewhere that you could call home
G7 C G C G
And you would just ride me back home
[Outro]
