Eb Dm Eb F Bb
Set out early, every seasoned rider knows
Dm Gm Eb F
Keep an even pace, steady as she goes
Dm Cm D Gm Eb
Headed back to town after several nights away
Dm Eb F Bb
I rode past you on the road again today
[Verse 2]
Eb Dm Eb F Bb
Gentle shadows in the mist among the trees
Dm Gm Eb F
Who awakes prepared to face such sights as these?
Dm Cm D Gm Eb
God keep the bounty hunter who shows mercy to his prey
Dm Eb F Bb
I rode past you on the road again today
[Bridge]
Eb F Bb
And as you approached I could sense the threat
Cm Dm Eb Bb
But a stranger's just a friеnd who hasn't shared their secrеts yet
[Verse 3]
Eb Dm Eb F Bb
Make camp by sundown, watchfire burning bright
Dm Gm Eb F
Songs bloom in the dark and throb down in the night
Fm Bb Eb D Gm Eb
I seek the gate of wisdom, the secret state of play
Dm Eb F Bb
I rode past you on the road again today
[Verse 4]
Eb Dm Eb F Bb
Rise up restless, get ready for the waterworks
Dm Gm Eb F
Shun the hollow places where my marksman lurks
Dm Cm D Gm Eb
One of us will tire and one will rise and ride away
Dm Eb F Bb
I rode past you on the road again today
