Ride Me Back Home

C
  We rode into battle barebacked and
 saddled
                            G
You took the wound in your side
Dm                           G
You pulled the sleds and you pulled 
the wagons
                           C    G  
You gave 'em somewhere to hide
C  G

C
  Now they don't need you and 
there's no one to feed you
And there's fences where you used to
 F
 roam
                          C
I wish I could gather up all of your
 brothers
    G7                          C 
And you would just ride me back 
   G  C  G
home

[Chorus]
F
Ride me back home to a much better 
place
G
Blue skies and sunshine and plenty 
of space
F
Somewhere where they would just 
leave you alone
C                             G
Somewhere that you could call home

[Verse 2]
C
  I got a small place  up in the 
foothills
Where green grass is precious as 
 G
gold
Dm                           G
I paid a fortune for what little I 
got here
                              C    
But you know that I'd sell my soul
 G  C  G

   C
To have all the mountains, the 
rivers and valleys
                             F
The places where you need to roam
                            C
And I would just gather up all of 
your brothers
    G7                          C 
And you would just ride me back 
   G  C  G

[Chorus]

Ride me back home to a much better 
place
G
Blue skies and sunshine and plenty 
of space
F
Somewhere where they would just 
leave you alone
C                             G
Somewhere that you could call home
    G7                          C 
And you would just ride me back 
   G

Ride me back home to a much better

Blue skies and sunshine and plenty 
of space

Somewhere where they would just 
leave you alone
