A5A5  D MajorD           G+G        D MajorD        A augmentedA
When cold wind is-a calling, and the sky is clear and bright,
   B minorBm    D MajorD    G+G        D MajorD      A augmentedA
Misty mountains sing and beckon, lead me out into the light.

I will ride; I will fly,

Chase the wind, and touch the sky.

*Break*
B minorBm G+G  A augmentedA

A augmentedA   D MajorD           G+G
Where dark woods hide secrets,
  D MajorD            A augmentedA
and mountains are fierce and bold,
   B minorBm   D MajorD  G+G       D MajorD         A augmentedA
Deep waters hold reflections of times lost long a-go.
    D MajorD     G+G      D MajorD          A augmentedA
I will heed every story, take hold of my own dream,
   B minorBm      D MajorD    G+G      D MajorD      A augmentedA    D MajorD
Be as strong as the seas are stormy, and proud as an eagles scream.

I will ride; I will fly,
     D MajorD     A augmentedA     B minorBm
Chase the wind, and touch the sky.

I will fly,
         D MajorD       A augmentedA     D MajorD
Chase the wind, and touch the sky.

*Notes/Notation*
X: the string is either muted or not played.
0: the string is played open.

*The A augmentedA chord during the second verse is played on the "go" part of the word "ago";
I added a dash to illustrate that.*

*I am firmly rooted in omitting the BB in the G+G chord, playing it as a 3X0033
rather than 320033, but either way will work.*

*The B minorBm chord is difficult for first timers-and even senior guitar players to some
degree-but just try it in barre form, and if that doesn't work, see if doing
XX4432 works better.*
