Tuning: Standard
Intro: C#m, Ab, A, E (2X)
C#m Ab
Every time I turn around, the man’s trying to get me down
A E
I just can’t see your face
C#m Ab
I’m blinded by the sun, living on the run
A E
And I can’t remember this place
Chorus:
B A E F#m Abm E
Won’t you take me to the other side… let me go when I’m high
B A E F#m Abm E
Won’t you take me to the other side, pretty mama, on the wind won’t you let me ride
C#m Ab
I better slow down before I wreck, driving on the river’s edge
A E
My mama says to come back home
C#m Ab
But I can’t keep running fast, burning up the years grass
A E
On uncle Sam’s dirt road
Chorus:
B A E F#m Abm E
Won’t you take me to the other side… let me go when I’m high
B A E F#m Abm E
Won’t you take me to the other side, pretty mama, on the wind won’t you let me ride

Well the Cowboy’s your given name, nothing ever stays the same

‘Cept the rain falling down

Well you can’t keep from growin’ old, the winter’s always damn cold

It’s time to put the hammer down
