Rocks Begin To Roll chords by Ian Tyson

Intro: D A D F#m

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

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

Verse: 2
D
Clime on little girl
D                      A
We'er gonna make a new start
D                                          A
You got the gypsy soul, you got a buckaroo hart
A        D               E
Girl and you can rock n' roll me
E                  A
Oh I love the you do
D                      E
Livin' in the downtown core
E                       A
Honey ain't no life for you


F#m
It's way out back of the back of beyond
F#m
Where the nights are as dark as coal
F#m     E                        D
And the circle stays unbroken
N.C.                    A
When the rocks begin to roll
A             E
They begin to roll
