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