Intro:
Em  D  C  D  Em


Verse 1:
  Em                     D
A lonesome old cowboy is nobody'e hero,
    C                  D            Em
His empty old saddle reminds him to mourn
    Em                       D
The best of his breed's in a distant stampede
    C                             B7         C
And echoes in the canyon from the day he was born
              G               D          Em
Echoes in the canyon from the day he was born

Chorus:
G                       D
Ride me up the moutain, way 'cross the canyon
C                         B7
Paint me on a saddle, put wind in my hair
G                       D
Throw me in the sunset, lonesome and hungry
    C                     B7         C
For somethin' to lasso or someone to dare,
             G      D          Em
Somethin' to lasso, someone to dare


Verse 2:
Em                      D
He was a young boy, his mama was cookin'
    C                 D             Em
For some other family down past the dam
    Em                        D
Way down past the canyon, the fire in the sunset
    C                  B7              C
And way after dark the back door would slam
          G        D               Em
Way after dark the back door would slam


Chorus:
G                       D
Ride me up the moutain, way 'cross the canyon
C                         B7
Paint me on a saddle, put wind in my hair
G                       D
Throw me in the sunset, lonesome and hungry
    C                     B7         C
For somethin' to lasso or someone to dare,
             G      D          Em
Somethin' to lasso, someone to dare


Verse 3:
    Em                        D
The fire's in the kitchen, it came through the window
   C                           D               Em
It came from a storm cloud and singed his gray hair
    Em                D
But nobody's home, he rides in the distance
C                         B7       C
Who wants to come home if nobody's there
             G            D        Em
Who wants to come home if nobody's there


Chorus:
G                       D
Ride me up the moutain, way 'cross the canyon
C                         B7
Paint me on a saddle, put wind in my hair
G                       D
Throw me in the sunset, lonesome and hungry
    C                     B7         C
For somethin' to lasso or someone to dare,
             G      D          Em   C  G  D
Somethin' to lasso, someone to dare
