Tonight We Ride
Michael Martin Murphey


Intro G Cmaj9/G C  G Cmaj9/G C

   G    Gmaj7  C
Come gather `round my friends
 G     Gmaj7  C
Tonight our waiting ends
  Em     D   C
The clouds race by the moon
  Em    D      C
And midnight  is coming soon

  G
And we can no longer

Be held down
    Em
By the wheels that deal

In this tinhorn town


  G
No longer slaves who will

Bare their load
Em
We`ll take what`s ours
             C   D
And we`ll hit the road tonight


      G  Gmaj7 C6 G
Tonight we ride............
          C    G
Tonight we ride............

    Gmaj7   C
To overcome their lies
  G  Gmaj7     C
Our loyalty must never die
  Em     D     C
Our hearts must hold this true
  Em7    D    C
To do what we have to do


  G
And nothing holds us

Here but ourselves
  Em
We make our heaven

And make our hell
G
We can live in a better place
   Em
We`ll run tonight and we`ll
         C   D
Leave no trace tonight


      G  Gmaj7 C G
Tonight we ride............
             D# C6 G
Tonight we ride............


D# Cm G Em Cmaj7 C6 Bm E A F#m D E A D A


          D
And now we all must choose
  A       Amaj7      D
To run this race one more time or loose
  F#m7    E    D
To storm this wall of tears
    F#m   E     D
That`s held our hearts for years


  A           Amaj7
To feel the wind and the chill of night
  F#m
To brave the thrill of the dawning light
A
Chase the sun down in to the sea
   F#m                D   E
We`ll sleep no more until we are free tonight


      A  Amaj7 D A
Tonight we ride..........
        Amaj7 D A
Tonight we ride..........
        Amaj7 D A
Tonight we ride..........

Tonight we ride..........
