Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
C

Verse 1:
C
  We rode into battle barebacked and saddled
                            G
You took the wound in your side
Dm7                          G
You pulled the sleds and you pulled the wagons
                           C
You gave 'em somewhere to hide
C

  Now they don't need you and there's no one to feed you
                                     F
And there's fences where you used to roam
                          C
I wish I could gather up all of your brothers
    G                           C
And you would just ride me back home

Chorus:
F
Ride me back home to a much better place
G
Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space
F
Somewhere where they would just leave you alone
C                             G
Somewhere that you could call home
                   G7           C
And you would just ride me back home

Verse 2:
C
  I got a small place  up in the foothills
                                  G
Where green grass is precious as gold
Dm7                          G
I paid a fortune for what little I got here
                              C
But you know that I'd sell my soul
   C
To have all the mountains, the rivers and valleys
                             F
The places where you need to roam
                            C
And I would just gather up all of your brothers
    G                           C
And you would just ride me back home

Chorus:
F
Ride me back home to a much better place
G
Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space
F
Somewhere where they would just leave you alone
C                             G
Somewhere that you could call home
                   G7           C
And you would just ride me back home

Chorus:
F
Ride me back home to a much better place
G
Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space
F
Somewhere where they would just leave you alone
C                             G
Somewhere that you could call home
                   G7           C
And you would just ride me back home
