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..........
