Verse
G
I was six years old, my brother was ten
Dsus2/F#
One July day came running in,
Em
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
Dsus2/F#
Carrying our fortune in a Mason jar
Em
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
Dsus2/F#
In that dusty circle behind the ferris wheel
Em 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
Dsus2/F#
Cowboy movies made it look like fun
Em
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
Dsus2/F#
And I came down a full grown man
Em
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
Dsus2/F#
His rhyme would pop in my head again
Em
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
Dsus2/F#
I'll come to the edge of the great unknown
Em
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
Dsus2/F#
And I'll tip my hat and bid fairwell
Em
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 Em
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
D G
Now don't be scared, just enjoy your ride
