(CAPO 1st Fret)
[Verse 1]
D
There's this place we're gonna ride
Bm
Up where the rimrod meets the night
Em
We'll go hand in hand
Em7 A
Ridin' through the purple star light
D
And the coyote on the wind
Bm
Sends his lonely lover's call
Em
We'll hold each other close
G D
In the wonder of it all
[Verse 2]
D
The golden west has come and gone
Bm
Right before our very eyes
Em
But they will never count the stars
Em7 A
And they will never fence the skies
D
All I know is I love you
Bm
And I won't let you fall
Em
We're rollin' down the Milky Way
G D (D one down stroke)
Into the wonder of it all
[Bridge]
F#m
Life gets harder every day
G D
And sometimes it seems the dream almost dies
F#m
But love will find a way
G Em
It will show us the way through the canyons of the stars
Em7 A (slide CAPO to 2nd Fret)
And the endless midnight sky
[Verse 3]
A D
Come on girl we're gonna ride
Bm
Where the rimrod meets the night
Em
We'll go hand in hand
Em7 A
Ridin' through the purple starlight
D
And the coyote on the wind
Bm
Sends his lonely lover's call
Em
We'll hold each other close
G D
In the wonder of it all
B Em
We'll hold each other close
Gm D G A D
In the wonder of it all
