These are The Rut chords by Turnpike Troubadours on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[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
