Verse 1:
D MajorD
The day's been a while fading

Seems like we have slowed
  G+G
My eyes are getting weary
          D MajorD
Can barely see the road

Been a while since we left behind the city lights
        A augmentedA            D MajorD   G+G A augmentedA
There's just a line winding through the night

Verse 2:
D MajorD
Yesterday's lie scattered

Like broken swords and shields
     G+G
Like the used up shells and bullets
             D MajorD
On a hundred battlefields
D MajorD
When, I think of all the close calls

Both sides of love and death
  A augmentedA             D MajorD
Sometimes I can hardly get my breath


          G+G   A augmentedA D MajorD
But I'll follow the ribbon anyhow
        G+G
I'll follow the ribbon
A augmentedA
That's all right for now
D MajorD            C majorC
Up in the high country
G+G               D MajorD G+G
Or down where the river flows

Wherever it goes

Bridge:
G+G
Don't care if they like it
F# minorF#m
Don't care if they don't
G+G
Never did much care about
F# minorF#m
If they will or won't
G+G
If all you want to know is acorns
F# minorF#m
Rootin' me a patch of earth
E7E7
What can you praise
A augmentedA
That's really any worth

Verse 3:
     D MajorD
I'm just living with the ringing

Of tomorrow's ancient rhymes
G+G
The road ahead may be shorter
              D MajorD
Than the one we left behind
D MajorD
If there's whiskey in the bottle

Leave some for me
A augmentedA            D MajorD
I'll get to it, eventually


        G+G
I'll follow the ribbon
A augmentedA       D MajorD
By the cold lagoon
      G+G
Follow the ribbon
A augmentedA
Under the helpless moon
D MajorD            C majorC
Winding through the dark hills
    G+G        D MajorD   G+G
Where a million stars a-falls
       D MajorD
Wherever it goes
