Artist: Willie Nelson
[INTRO]
[C] [G] [C] [G] x2
[VERSE 1]
[C] We rode into battle barebacked and saddled
You took the wound in your s[G]ide
[Dm]You pulled the sleds and you [G]pulled the wagons
You gave 'em somewhere to h[C]ide [G] [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
I wish I could gather up a[C]ll of your brothers
And [G7]you would just ride me back [C]home [G] [C] [G]
[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]Somewhere that you could call [G]home
And [G7]you would just ride me back [C]home [G] [C] [G]
[INTERLUDE]
[C] [G] [C] [G]
[VERSE 2]
[C] I got a small place up in the foothills
Where green grass is precious as g[G]old
[Dm]I paid a fortune for what lit[G]tle I got here
But you know that I'd sell my [C]soul [G] [C] [G]
To [C]have all the mountains, the rivers and valleys
The places where you need to [F]roam
And I would just gather up a[C]ll of your brothers
And [G7]you would just ride me back [C]home [G] [C] [G]
[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]Somewhere that you could call [G]home
And [G7]you would just ride me back [C]home [G]
[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]Somewhere that you could call [G]home
And [G7]you would just ride me back [C]home [G] [C] [G]
