Roll On Owyhee chords by Ian Tyson

Capo 2


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

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

Chorus:
D        E7                Em
Roll on Owyhee, wild horse heaven
                 G       A
I hope it always will be
D       E7
Roll on Owyhee
     G         A         D
Far across the sagebrush sea

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

Chorus:

D        E7                Em
Roll on Owyhee, wild horse heaven
                 G       A
I hope it always will be
D       E7
Roll on Owyhee
     G         A         D
