Verse
C
I was six years old, my brother was ten
Gsus2/B
One July day came running in,
Am
seen a ferris wheel at the edge of town
F C
So, of course, we headed on down
C
Well it took us an hour to walk that far
Gsus2/B
Carrying our fortune in a Mason jar
Am
It was all pretty sad, a cheap county fair
F C
With a few old rides but there was ponies there
C
Well, the ponies stunk and the air was still
Gsus2/B
In that dusty circle behind the ferris wheel
Am F
This old guy smelling of smoke and rum
C
Swung me up and sat me down on one
C
Well I'd never rode a horse but I'd seen it done
Gsus2/B
Cowboy movies made it look like fun
Am
This old man whispered a few soft words
F
It was the best advice I've ever heard
[Chorus]
F C
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
G C
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
F C
And live like you ain't afraid to die
G C
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
[Verse 2]
C
I went up a kid with shaking hands
Gsus2/B
And I came down a full grown man
Am
It was like he'd cast some Voodoo spell
F C
Things were different for me now, I could tell
C
'Cos whenever troubles come wandering in
Gsus2/B
His rhyme would pop in my head again
Am
And somehow I rode through the needles and nails
F C
Brambles and thorns that life entails
[Chorus]
F C
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
G C
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
F C
And live like you ain't afraid to die
G C
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
[Verse 3]
C
Well I know some day farther down the road
Gsus2/B
I'll come to the edge of the great unknown
Am
There'll stand a black horse riderless
F C
And I wonder if I'm ready for this
C
So I'll saddle him up and he'll switch his tail
Gsus2/B
And I'll tip my hat and bid fairwell
Am
And lift my song into the air
F C
That I learned at that dusty fair
[Chorus]
F C
"Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
G C
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
F C
And live like you ain't afraid to die
G Am
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
G C
Now don't be scared, just enjoy your ride
