VERSE:
 G                         Bm
Them old timers they come rolling in
 C                             D
Grab themselves a seat by the fire
  G                 Bm
Their old faces so scarred and worn,
         C                       D
They’re wild like the land they ride

 G                                Bm
They tell their tales of how they owe their lives
    C                  D
To buckskin mules and old buck knives,
G                  Bm
No true love they sacrificed
          C          D
For them old coyote lives


CHORUS:
Am                 Em          D
  So throw another log on the fire
                      Em   D      C
Hear the tales of the old west revival
             G                  D  D
Take a load off, listen for a while

Am        Em                D
  Take a pull and pass the bottle
                    Em   D        C
Pass it over to the old Ryegrass Riders
             G                  D  D
Take a load off, listen for a while


VERSE:
  G                        Bm
Sheep Beater Jim, used to ride with him
        C                     D
On the old trap lines in the howlin’ wind
       G                    Bm
But a few good years on the Upper Green,
          C                     D
‘Til the law came in like some new machine

           G                 Bm
Went from getting’ skins to crude run-ins
 C              D
Crooked lawmen creepin’ in
          G                          Bm
And they took their land with their guns and greed
          C                        D
And they shot Jimmy down and they watched him bleed


CHORUS:
Am                 Em          D
  So throw another log on the fire
                      Em   D      C
Hear the tales of the old west revival
             G                  D  D
Take a load off, listen for a while

     Am              Em                D
Yea yeah you take a pull and pass the bottle
                    Em   D        C
Pass it over to the old Ryegrass Riders
             G                  D  D
Take a load off, listen for a while

VERSE:
 G                     Bm
Them old stories they start to fade
          C                 D
With the howling wolves of yesterday
 G               Bm
Cattle wars and unsettled scores
         C                       D
Between outlaw brothers and two bit whores

      G                  Bm
And though they died so long ago
                    C                    D
Feels like they’re right by the fire to take a pull
           G                  Bm
And we`ll never know all the seeds they sow
           C                    D               Am
When they yoked that wagon and said goodbye Chicago


CHORUS:
 Am                 Em         D
Just throw another log on the fire
                      Em   D      C
Hear the tales of the old west revival
             G                  D
Take a load off, listen for a while
                              Am
Don`t you listen yeah, yeah, yeah

            Em                D
You take a pull and pass the bottle
                     Em   D        C
Pass it over to them old Ryegrass Riders
             G                  D
Take a load off, listen for a while


OUTRO:
