[Intro] |G |C G |C G |Bm7 | |G |C G |C G D |G | [Verse]
         G                            C
You make up your mind, you choose the chance you take

                      G                     D
You ride to where the highway ends, and the desert breaks

             G                     C
Out on to an open road, you ride until the day

             G             D          C
You learn to sleep at night, with the price you pay

               G                                         C
Now with their hands held high, they reached out for the open skies

       G                                           D
And in one last breath they built the roads they'd ride to their death

           G                            C
Driving on through the night, unable to break away

         G            D        C
From the restless pull, of the price you pay
[Chorus]
        G                      C
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay

              G        D          C
Now you can't walk away, from the price you pay
[Verse]
           G                       C
Now they'd come so far, and they'd waited so long

               G                             D
Just to end up caught in a dream, where everything goes wrong

          G                             C
Where the dark of night, holds back the light of the day

                 G              D         C
And you've gotta stand and fight, for the price you pay
[Chorus]
        G                      C
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay

              G        D          C
Now you can't walk away, from the price you pay
[Harp Solo] |G |C G |C G |Bm7 | |G |C G |C G |D | |C |C |C G/B D/A |G | [Verse]
G                                                            C
Little girl down on the strand, with that pretty little baby in your hands

         G                        D
Do you remember, the story of the promised land

                   G                                     C
How he crossed the desert sands, and could not enter the chosen land

                    G              D             C
On the banks of the river he stayed, to face the price you pay

           G                                     C
So let the game start, you better run you little wild heart

        G                                        D
You can run through all the nights, and all the days

                    G                                           C
But just across the county line, a stranger passing through put up a sign

                    G          D        Em           C
That counts the men fallen away, to the price you pa-ay,

                    G             D                            C
And girl before the end of the day, I'm gonna tear it down and throw it away
[Outro] |G |C G |C G |Bm7 |
|G       |C  G    |C  G    |D       |
