Intro:
Em D C D Em


Verse 1:
 Em           D
A lonesome old cowboy is nobody'e hero,
  C         D      Em
His empty old saddle reminds him to mourn
  Em            D
The best of his breed's in a distant stampede
  C               B7     C
And echoes in the canyon from the day he was born
       G        D     Em
Echoes in the canyon from the day he was born

Chorus:
G            D
Ride me up the moutain, way 'cross the canyon
C             B7
Paint me on a saddle, put wind in my hair
G            D
Throw me in the sunset, lonesome and hungry
  C           B7     C
For somethin' to lasso or someone to dare,
       G   D     Em
Somethin' to lasso, someone to dare


Verse 2:
Em           D
He was a young boy, his mama was cookin'
  C         D       Em
For some other family down past the dam
  Em            D
Way down past the canyon, the fire in the sunset
  C         B7       C
And way after dark the back door would slam
     G    D        Em
Way after dark the back door would slam


Chorus:
G            D
Ride me up the moutain, way 'cross the canyon
C             B7
Paint me on a saddle, put wind in my hair
G            D
Throw me in the sunset, lonesome and hungry
  C           B7     C
For somethin' to lasso or someone to dare,
       G   D     Em
Somethin' to lasso, someone to dare


Verse 3:
  Em            D
The fire's in the kitchen, it came through the window
  C              D        Em
It came from a storm cloud and singed his gray hair
  Em        D
But nobody's home, he rides in the distance
C             B7    C
Who wants to come home if nobody's there
       G      D    Em
Who wants to come home if nobody's there


Chorus:
G            D
Ride me up the moutain, way 'cross the canyon
C             B7
Paint me on a saddle, put wind in my hair
G            D
Throw me in the sunset, lonesome and hungry
  C           B7     C
For somethin' to lasso or someone to dare,
       G   D     Em  C G D
Somethin' to lasso, someone to dare
