🎸 Verse 1:
      Em
I heard you died out in Cheyenne
    C
With my mother's ring on your hand
 G                D
A note in your pocket said "I'll love you till I die"
    Em              C
I can hear the bulls are coming to claim that they've been hunting
  G               D
The son of the cowboy came to claim his daddy's right
    Em                C
And my baby she's been crying at the thought of me dying
  G              D
She knows theres no stopping a man and his foolish pride
       C
So open the gates

🎸 Chorus:
I'm here to prove
G          D
 I'm better than my father was
            Em
And where he came from, too

So open the gates
I'm here to ride
G       D
 To hell I'll go
         Em
With daddy by my side

That was fourlegged and bucking

Throw me on a hurricane
     D
And I'll ride it to the coast
        Em
You'll never know that your son
     C
Came to do what you should've done
   G
On a summer day a long time ago
  D
Top a bull named To Hell I Go
       C
So open the gates

I'm here to prove

I'm here to ride

 To hell I'll go

With daddy by my side

And a belly that's been growing by the day
   Em
And I know that my son
       C
Will do what his father should've done
 G
A long, long time ago

On a bull named To Hell I Go

He's here to ride

 To hell he'll go
         Em
With daddy by his side
