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:
 D      Am      Em         D
Why, why did I take a load off, listen for a while
 D
Listen oh oh a while
C  G        D
 I I I listen for a while oh oh oh

Am       Em         D D
Oh take a load off listen for a while
C       G           D
 Take a load off and listen for a while
     Am
A whi-iii-le
      Em         D
Take a load off listen for a while
