[Intro]
Em G D Am Em G C
[Verse 1]
Em G D Am Early fall descended on the dry back country Aspens Em G C It could be any time now that the bulls start bugling Em G D Am I watched the pack mule panniers, see the loads are riding even Em G Am Is it in my mind or did I finally hear one sing?
[Verse 2]
Em G D Am It's been ten years since I first came to the mountains with my father Em G C A half pint in each saddle bag and stars in both my eyes Em G D Am I don't miss the taste of liquor or really anything about it Em G Am But the temporary shelter was a welcome compromise
[Chorus]
C G D Am Oh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in G C G Am A little elevation and an open-ended prayer C G D Am Holdin' out for more than breakin' even C G D Am C I've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there
[Guitar Solo]
Em G D Am Em
G C
[Verse 3]
Em G D Am The bull had come in tight and he was screamin' in dark timber Em G C I could see his brown eyes movin', hear him breathin' as he wheeled Em G D Am But tomorrow full of promise, I just lived there in the moment Em G Am Hunted back toward camp for enough grouse to make a meal
[Chorus]
C G D Am Oh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in G C G Am A little elevation and an open-ended prayer C G D Am Holdin' out for more than breakin' even C G D Am C I've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there
[Guitar Solo]
Em G D Am Em G C
Em G D Am Em G Am
[Chorus]
C G D Am Oh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in G C G Am A little elevation and an open-ended prayer C G D Am Holdin' out for more than breakin' even C G D Am C I've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there
[Outro]
