Rio

	  		
Intro 
A/D  E (x2) 

verse 1 
  D 
I bought him down in Houston from a cowboy friend of mine 
   A 
He said he'd named him Rio, got him on the border line 
     D 
He's bred just like the river, and he runs as free and wild 
       F#m                               E 
A good horse don't get no better, he can weather any mile 
          A/D                                          E 
He said, "Why don't you take him out past the lake and let him run? 
    A/D                                             E 
And you'll come to know that red turns to gold in a setting sun" 
 
      A                      F#m 
Every valley and mountain, I ride up and down them 
  E               D    A/D 
I go wherever Rio goes 
         A                    F#m 
From the top to the bottom, I don't try to stop him 
       E               D    A/D  E 
I just go wherever Rio goes
 

verse 2 
            D 
And when we came up on the river, I could tell the horse had changed 
          A 
There was somethin' 'bout that water, like it was runnin' through his veins 
         D 
And I'll never understand it, how he knew just what to do 
       F#m                                E 
In the shadows of the darkness, hell, you couldn't see the moon 
    A/D                                      E 
And I don't believe that Rio could see each step he'd take 
    A/D                                      E 
But sure as the rain, he finds his way to the river bank 
 
      A                      F#m 
Every valley and mountain, I ride up and down them 
  E               D    A/D 
I go wherever Rio goes 
         A                    F#m 
From the top to the bottom, I don't try to stop him 
       E               D    A/D  E  A/D  E 
I just go wherever Rio goes 


Bridge 
             A/D                                          E 
Oh he said, "Why don't you take him out past the lake and let him run? 
    A/D                                          E 
And I came to find my own peace of mind with the risin' sun 
 
      A                      F#m 
Every valley and mountain, I ride up and down them 
  E               D    A/D 
I go wherever Rio goes 
         A                    F#m 
From the top to the bottom, I don't try to stop him 
       E               D    A/D 
I just go wherever Rio goes 
      A                        F#m 
Every trail, every turn, every lesson I learned 
  E                         D          F#m        D 
I followed my heart and his soul, so I go, I just go 
             A/D   E   A/D  E 
Wherever Rio goes    Oh! 
             A/D   E   A/D  E 
Wherever Rio goes
