Verse 1:
Am
Well I haven't seen snow in couple of years
Am
It's still dry in the desert this time of year
Dm
There's cracks in the ground for the poor man's tears
E7
There's brown in the bushes for the raven and deer

Am

Verse 2:
Am
There's a hollow hope sounding from the hole in the ground
Am
It's the squeak of the wheel, it's the hush of the town
Dm
There's a fire for the morning though there's no one around
E7
To be felt by the flicker of the flame on the ground

Am

Chorus:
             F
Saddle up son,
                       Am
We'll be riding at dawn
     E7
That Santa Fe sun,
                        Am
Will be setting tomorrow
                          F
We ride through the willow,
                           Am
Till the grass on the mound
      E7                  E7*
Has a thick, thick blanket
N.C.
Of white on the ground

Verse 3:
Am
The wind whistles meaner things than I'll ever say
Am
The cold to a stranger is a hoof to the clay
Dm
Never I remember such greed in an eye
E7
The judge is a joker and he lives in the sky

Am

Chorus:
             F
Saddle up son,
                       Am
We'll be riding at dawn
     E7
That Santa Fe sun,
                        Am
Will be setting tomorrow
                          F
We ride through the willow,
                           Am
Till the grass on the mound
      E7                  E7*
Has a thick, thick blanket
N.C.
Of white on the ground

Am

Verse 4:
Am
Well I haven't been home in a couple of years
Am
The snow is a ransom for my younger years
Dm
Hell isn't burning it's the chill of the night
E7
And it's frozen over and it's covered in white

Am

Chorus:
             F
Saddle up son,
                       Am
We'll be riding at dawn
     E7
That Santa Fe sun,
                        Am
Will be setting tomorrow
                          F
We ride through the willow,
                         Am
To the grass on the mound
        E7                 E7*
And may God take the memory
N.C.
Of white on the ground
Am
White on the ground
Am
White on the ground
