Roll On Owyhee chords by Ian Tyson

Chords with lyrics

Capo 2


     D MajorD
From the top of Mahogany Ridge you can see forever
    D MajorD          A augmentedA
And forever is a long, long way
  D MajorD         G+G             D MajorD         G+G
The desert rules, the first rule, you've got to know your way back home
D MajorD                 A augmentedA
And you'll be back to ride another day

     D MajorD
And when the night falls the silence all around you
    D MajorD                  A augmentedA
And the beating of your heart is the only sound
   D MajorD        G+G    D MajorD          G+G
Down in some lonley canyon, beside the sagebrush fire
 D MajorD                 A augmentedA
Dreaming of the lights of paradise town

Chorus:
D MajorD    E7E7        E minorEm
Roll on Owyhee, wild horse heaven
         G+G    A augmentedA
I hope it always will be
D MajorD    E7E7
Roll on Owyhee
   G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD
Far across the sagebrush sea

     D MajorD
So we'll raise our glasses high to the big Owyhee
    D MajorD                          A augmentedA
we'll have another round for the fellas who still hear the call
   D MajorD                G+G
you got to play the card that's dealt you
  D MajorD               A augmentedA
coming off the Mountain Taparedo tall

Chorus:

D MajorD    E7E7        E minorEm
Roll on Owyhee, wild horse heaven
         G+G    A augmentedA
I hope it always will be
D MajorD    E7E7
Roll on Owyhee
   G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD
