Intro D G D G Em G D G D G D G D G Em G D G D G DVerse 1:
D The day's been a while fading Seems like we have slowed G My eyes are getting weary D Can barely see the road Been a while since we left behind the city lights A D G A There's just a line winding through the nightVerse 2:
D Yesterday's lie scattered Like broken swords and shields G Like the used up shells and bullets D On a hundred battlefields D When, I think of all the close calls Both sides of love and death A D Sometimes I can hardly get my breathD G D G Em G D G D G D D G G D D D D A DG A D But I'll follow the ribbon anyhow G I'll follow the ribbon A That's all right for now D C Up in the high country G D G Or down where the river flows Wherever it goesBridge:
G Don't care if they like it F#m Don't care if they don't G Never did much care about F#m If they will or won't G If all you want to know is acorns F#m Rootin' me a patch of earth E7 What can you praise A That's really any worthVerse 3:
D I'm just living with the ringing Of tomorrow's ancient rhymes G The road ahead may be shorter D Than the one we left behind D If there's whiskey in the bottle Leave some for me A D I'll get to it, eventuallyD G D G Em G D G D GG I'll follow the ribbon A D By the cold lagoon G Follow the ribbon A Under the helpless moon D C Winding through the dark hills G D G Where a million stars a-falls D Wherever it goes
