Drive-By Truckers – The Monument Valley (Guitar)

D
It’s all about where you put the horizon

         G
Said the great John Ford to the young man rising

           D
You got to frame it just right and have some luck of course

       G
And it helps to have a tall man ridin' on the horse

D
Tell them just enough to still leave them some mystery

  G
A grasp of the ironic nature of history

  A                          
A man turns his back on the comforts of home

    G                                  D
The Monument Valley to ride off alone

             D
And when the dust all settles and the story is told

G
History is made by the side of the road

       D
By the men and women that can persevere

    G
And rage through the storm, no matter how severe

    A
And whether it’s a horse or a car or a train

        G
There’s gonna be some fine times and there’s gonna be some pain

       A
In the end it’s a silhouette framed by the sun

             G                                      D
And just The Monument Valley when the evening comes

        A
It’s a strong wind blowing on the open range

      G
It’s gonna be beautiful and it’s gonna be strange

      A
It’s where to plant the camera and when to say action

G
When to print the legend and when to leave the facts in

A
You turn your back on the comforts of home

    G                                      D
And wander round The Monument Valley alone
