Verse
G#
I was six years old, my brother was ten
D#sus2/G
One July day came running in,
Fm
seen a ferris wheel at the edge of town
C# G#
So, of course, we headed on down
G#
Well it took us an hour to walk that far
D#sus2/G
Carrying our fortune in a Mason jar
Fm
It was all pretty sad, a cheap county fair
C# G#
With a few old rides but there was ponies there
G#
Well, the ponies stunk and the air was still
D#sus2/G
In that dusty circle behind the ferris wheel
Fm C#
This old guy smelling of smoke and rum
G#
Swung me up and sat me down on one
G#
Well I'd never rode a horse but I'd seen it done
D#sus2/G
Cowboy movies made it look like fun
Fm
This old man whispered a few soft words
C#
It was the best advice I've ever heard
[Chorus]
C# G#
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
D# G#
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
C# G#
And live like you ain't afraid to die
D# G#
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
[Verse 2]
G#
I went up a kid with shaking hands
D#sus2/G
And I came down a full grown man
Fm
It was like he'd cast some Voodoo spell
C# G#
Things were different for me now, I could tell
G#
'Cos whenever troubles come wandering in
D#sus2/G
His rhyme would pop in my head again
Fm
And somehow I rode through the needles and nails
C# G#
Brambles and thorns that life entails
[Chorus]
C# G#
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
D# G#
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
C# G#
And live like you ain't afraid to die
D# G#
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
[Verse 3]
G#
Well I know some day farther down the road
D#sus2/G
I'll come to the edge of the great unknown
Fm
There'll stand a black horse riderless
C# G#
And I wonder if I'm ready for this
G#
So I'll saddle him up and he'll switch his tail
D#sus2/G
And I'll tip my hat and bid fairwell
Fm
And lift my song into the air
C# G#
That I learned at that dusty fair
[Chorus]
C# G#
"Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
D# G#
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
C# G#
And live like you ain't afraid to die
D# Fm
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
D# G#
Now don't be scared, just enjoy your ride
