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