Verse: 1
D MajorD
Open wide the gate boys
D MajorD       A augmentedA
Let my pony's run
A augmentedA     D MajorD
I'm gonna travel on the gravel
D MajorD              A augmentedA
Gonna header for the setting sun
A augmentedA    D MajorD        E MajorE
Give me sixteen broncs unbroken
E MajorE         A augmentedA
Out on the eastern slop
D MajorD               E MajorE
Truck 'em all the way from Oregon
E MajorE         A augmentedA
Leave me there to cope

F# minorF#m
Way out back of the back of beyond
F# minorF#m
Where the nights are as dark as coal
F# minorF#m   E MajorE            D MajorD
And the circle stays unbroken
N.C.          A augmentedA
When the rocks begin to roll
A augmentedA       E MajorE
They begin to roll

Clime on little girl
D MajorD           A augmentedA
We'er gonna make a new start
D MajorD                     A augmentedA
You got the gypsy soul, you got a buckaroo hart
A augmentedA    D MajorD        E MajorE
Girl and you can rock n' roll me
E MajorE         A augmentedA
Oh I love the you do
D MajorD           E MajorE
Livin' in the downtown core
E MajorE            A augmentedA
Honey ain't no life for you


F# minorF#m
It's way out back of the back of beyond
F# minorF#m
Where the nights are as dark as coal

They begin to roll
