[Intro] D G D G Em G D G D G D G D G Em G D G D G D [Verse 1]
D
The day's been a while fading
Seems like we have slowed
   G
My eyes are getting weary

                   D
Can barely see the road
Been a while since we left behind the city lights
               A                        D      G A
There's just a line winding through the night
[Verse 2]
D
Yesterday's lie scattered
Like broken swords and shields
         G
Like the used up shells and bullets

                         D
On a hundred battlefields

D
When, I think of all the close calls
Both sides of love and death
    A                         D
Sometimes I can hardly get my breath
[Chorus]
                    G      A  D
But I'll follow the ribbon anyhow

                G
I'll follow the ribbon

A
That's all right for now

D                       C
Up in the high country

G                             D G
Or down where the river flows
Wherever it goes D G D G Em G D G D G D D G G D D D D A D [Bridge]
G
Don't care if they like it

F#m
Don't care if they don't

G
Never did much care about

F#m
If they will or won't

G
If all you want to know is acorns

F#m
Rootin' me a patch of earth

E7
What can you praise

A
That's really any worth
[Verse 3]
         D
I'm just living with the ringing
Of tomorrow's ancient rhymes
G
The road ahead may be shorter

                           D
Than the one we left behind

D
If there's whiskey in the bottle
Leave some for me
A                        D
I'll get to it, eventually
[Chorus]
                G
I'll follow the ribbon

A             D
By the cold lagoon

           G
Follow the ribbon

A
Under the helpless moon

D                        C
Winding through the dark hills

        G               D      G
Where a million stars a-falls

             D
Wherever it goes
D G D G Em G D G D G
