[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 that
C
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 I
G D
first came to the mountains
Am
with my father Em G A half pint in each saddle bag
C
and stars in both my eyes Em G I don't miss the taste of liquor or
D Am
really anything about it Em G But the temporary shelter was a
Am
welcome compromise [Chorus] C G Oh friend, I'm gonna
D Am
ride out of the rut I'm in G C G A little elevation and an
Am
open-ended prayer C G D Holdin' out for more than
Am
breakin' even C G D I've come back to the mountains
Am C
and they're all still standin' there [Guitar Solo] Em G D Am Em G C [Verse 3] Em G The bull had come in tight and
D Am
he was screamin' in dark timber Em G I could see his brown eyes movin',
C
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 Oh friend, I'm gonna
D Am
ride out of the rut I'm in G C G A little elevation and an
Am
open-ended prayer C G D Holdin' out for more than
Am
breakin' even C G D I've come back to the mountains
Am C
and they're all still standin' there [Solo] Em G D Am
Em G C Em G D Am
Em G Am [Chorus] C G Oh friend, I'm gonna
D Am
ride out of the rut I'm in G C G A little elevation and an
Am
open-ended prayer C G D Holdin' out for more than
Am
breakin' even C G D I've come back to the mountains and
Am C
they're all still standin' there [Outro] Em G D Am
Em G C
