Verse
F
I was six years old, my brother was ten
Csus2/E
One July day came running in,
Dm
seen a ferris wheel at the edge of town
A# F
So, of course, we headed on down
F
Well it took us an hour to walk that far
Csus2/E
Carrying our fortune in a Mason jar
Dm
It was all pretty sad, a cheap county fair
A# F
With a few old rides but there was ponies there
F
Well, the ponies stunk and the air was still
Csus2/E
In that dusty circle behind the ferris wheel
Dm A#
This old guy smelling of smoke and rum
F
Swung me up and sat me down on one
F
Well I'd never rode a horse but I'd seen it done
Csus2/E
Cowboy movies made it look like fun
Dm
This old man whispered a few soft words
A#
It was the best advice I've ever heard
[Chorus]
A# F
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
C F
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
A# F
And live like you ain't afraid to die
C F
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
[Verse 2]
F
I went up a kid with shaking hands
Csus2/E
And I came down a full grown man
Dm
It was like he'd cast some Voodoo spell
A# F
Things were different for me now, I could tell
F
'Cos whenever troubles come wandering in
Csus2/E
His rhyme would pop in my head again
Dm
And somehow I rode through the needles and nails
A# F
Brambles and thorns that life entails
[Chorus]
A# F
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
C F
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
A# F
And live like you ain't afraid to die
C F
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
[Verse 3]
F
Well I know some day farther down the road
Csus2/E
I'll come to the edge of the great unknown
Dm
There'll stand a black horse riderless
A# F
And I wonder if I'm ready for this
F
So I'll saddle him up and he'll switch his tail
Csus2/E
And I'll tip my hat and bid fairwell
Dm
And lift my song into the air
A# F
That I learned at that dusty fair
[Chorus]
A# F
"Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
C F
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
A# F
And live like you ain't afraid to die
C Dm
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
C F
Now don't be scared, just enjoy your ride
