Intro:
C majorC

Verse 1:
C majorC
 We rode into battle barebacked and saddled
              G+G
You took the wound in your side
Dm7Dm7             G+G
You pulled the sleds and you pulled the wagons
              C majorC
You gave 'em somewhere to hide
C majorC
 Now they don't need you and there's no one to feed you
                   FF
And there's fences where you used to roam
             C majorC
I wish I could gather up all of your brothers
  G+G              C majorC
And you would just ride me back home

Chorus:
FF
Ride me back home to a much better place
G+G
Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space
FF
Somewhere where they would just leave you alone
C majorC               G+G
Somewhere that you could call home
          G7G7      C majorC
And you would just ride me back home

Verse 2:
C majorC
 I got a small place up in the foothills
                 G+G
Where green grass is precious as gold
Dm7Dm7             G+G
I paid a fortune for what little I got here
               C majorC
But you know that I'd sell my soul
  C majorC
To have all the mountains, the rivers and valleys
               FF
The places where you need to roam
              C majorC
And I would just gather up all of your brothers
  G+G              C majorC
And you would just ride me back home

Chorus:
FF
Ride me back home to a much better place
G+G
Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space
FF
Somewhere where they would just leave you alone
C majorC               G+G
Somewhere that you could call home
          G7G7      C majorC
And you would just ride me back home

Chorus:
FF
Ride me back home to a much better place
G+G
Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space
FF
Somewhere where they would just leave you alone
C majorC               G+G
Somewhere that you could call home
          G7G7      C majorC
And you would just ride me back home
