Verse
C#
I was six years old, my brother was ten
G#sus2/C
One July day came running in,
A#m
seen a ferris wheel at the edge of town
F# C#
So, of course, we headed on down
C#
Well it took us an hour to walk that far
G#sus2/C
Carrying our fortune in a Mason jar
A#m
It was all pretty sad, a cheap county fair
F# C#
With a few old rides but there was ponies there
C#
Well, the ponies stunk and the air was still
G#sus2/C
In that dusty circle behind the ferris wheel
A#m F#
This old guy smelling of smoke and rum
C#
Swung me up and sat me down on one
C#
Well I'd never rode a horse but I'd seen it done
G#sus2/C
Cowboy movies made it look like fun
A#m
This old man whispered a few soft words
F#
It was the best advice I've ever heard
[Chorus]
F# C#
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
G# C#
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
F# C#
And live like you ain't afraid to die
G# C#
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
[Verse 2]
C#
I went up a kid with shaking hands
G#sus2/C
And I came down a full grown man
A#m
It was like he'd cast some Voodoo spell
F# C#
Things were different for me now, I could tell
C#
'Cos whenever troubles come wandering in
G#sus2/C
His rhyme would pop in my head again
A#m
And somehow I rode through the needles and nails
F# C#
Brambles and thorns that life entails
[Chorus]
F# C#
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
G# C#
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
F# C#
And live like you ain't afraid to die
G# C#
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
[Verse 3]
C#
Well I know some day farther down the road
G#sus2/C
I'll come to the edge of the great unknown
A#m
There'll stand a black horse riderless
F# C#
And I wonder if I'm ready for this
C#
So I'll saddle him up and he'll switch his tail
G#sus2/C
And I'll tip my hat and bid fairwell
A#m
And lift my song into the air
F# C#
That I learned at that dusty fair
[Chorus]
F# C#
"Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
G# C#
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
F# C#
And live like you ain't afraid to die
G# A#m
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
G# C#
Now don't be scared, just enjoy your ride
