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